[00:00] Q3: Is there finally an IM tool which supports both voice and video? Thanks [00:00] danand_, Thanks. a enabling the send rcv buffer fixed it. I knew the answer wasn't " you can't stream! copy first" heh. All is fixed and streaming HD is no problem :) thank you. [00:00] dabbill: killing it may leave you with a broken dpkg database... what was it doing last? [00:01] im not getting in map information on gpsdrive anymore anyone know why? [00:01] dabbill - ps -A | grep aptitude to get the PID of aptitude - then kill -9 [atitudes pid] [00:01] does turbotax work with ubuntu? === noig is now known as notechyet [00:01] i was installing some thing, and crashed my system, and sence then its been running at 100% [00:01] Does anyone know what HTTP cache is, and why it keeps starting up every half hour? Also, why do my torrent speeds on kTorrent throttle so much. Does this happen to anyone else with this specific program? [00:02] turbotax online that is [00:02] LadyNikon thanks . dam i must get my eyes check out. [00:02] top will tell you the pid. It's on the far left [00:02] Love the "Purisa" font style [00:02] LadyNikon: Where you been at? [00:02] magick - cool :) - thought that was strange for a gigabit network.

Also, why do my torrent speeds on kTorrent throttle so much. Does this happen to anyone else with this specific program? [00:04] ok ... I have continued to research the issue with Ubuntu and webcam support in Skype. Apparantly there needs to be an additional module compiled, but it is already present in SuSE and PCLinuxOS [00:04] Hey guys.. I installed my nvidia driver that was offered to me on installing 7.10.. do I need to install the driver directly from the nVidia site to get dual monitor? [00:04] I'm stuck with only one monitor atm [00:04] can someone help me fix my /dev/sda2 error? [00:05] If I put Ubuntu back on this laptop, will someone help me compile a module. :-) [00:05] In a standard ubuntu installation there are folders in my home like Music Documents etc. Those are visible in the Places menu. How can i add folders to that list? [00:05] Does anyone know if there's programs for linux to erase permanently or rewrite over the files on a hard drive ? OR EVEN FILES PRIVATE FILES??? [00:05] Hi. I'm getting this error sporadically (last time when trying to run vim "ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 6246, errno = 4" I've googled the error message but don't know what it means - and can't find a process with that pid could anyone offer advice on where to look for the problem? This machine has generally started to be slow is it possibly hardware (hard disk?) related? [00:05] Bluey - try to be a bit more specific ... whats the exact nature of the problem [00:05] KenSentMe: right click and edit menu. [00:05] KenSentMe: easy way: anything you bookmark in nautilus will be added there [00:06] Green: shred, wipe [00:06] that too. [00:06] can someone tell me a good way to get the network going [00:06] Does anyone know what HTTP cache is, and why it keeps starting up every half hour? Also, why do my torrent speeds on kTorrent throttle so much. Does this happen to anyone else with this specific program? [00:06] jrib, ah, cool. Didnt know that, thanks [00:06] SniperFromHell: do your other torrent programs also experience throttling> [00:07] LjL I though you still can recover files... [00:07] unagi_: no, i don't know about gpsdrive, i can only suggest checking out roadnav for another (vector-based) navigation program [00:07] danand_ when i try to start up ubuntu the whole screen turns into what looks like a ocmmand prompt, with a bunch of numbers and words. at the end it says i have a /dev/sda2 error and the automatic file system check failed [00:07] LjL is shred complete rewritten the files /hd and unable to recover ? [00:07] Green: after using shred or wipe? definitely not without expensive equipment [00:07] Starnestommy: I don't know. I've never had any other ones than kTorrent. [00:07] What are some good ones? [00:07] Green, used on ext3, both can be problematic [00:07] SniperFromHell: I've heard some ISPs throttle bittorrent [00:07] Green: at least ext3 with some flavor of journal [00:07] I know it cant be my connection because i download from other servers at constant speeds === no0tic_ is now known as no0tic-local [00:08] oh [00:08] configure: error: Sufficiently new version of libasound not found. I get this while trying to configure "btsco" [00:08] Ljl so what u recommend "shred or wipe"? [00:08] Bluey: it maybe hardware fault or file system fault, you need to know what type of error you get, and examine your drive with smarmontools for example [00:08] Starnestommy: what program do you recommend? [00:08] also, how do i send a message to you that notifies someone, like you just did for me. [00:09] Green: probably equivalent [00:09] SniperFromHell: I don't use bittorrent, so I wouldn't be sure. [00:09] Bluey - sorry no idea on that one - redirect your question to the whole channel [00:09] is anyone using vpnc and network manager on a normal *wired* network connection? [00:09] Bluey: smartmontools [00:09] SniperFromHell: say their nick in a message? [00:09] Green: wipe is more versatile [00:09] oh ok [00:09] so like [00:09] Starnestommy: sup ? [00:09] lz7: how do i begin to do that? [00:09] SniperFromHell: yes [00:09] Ljl and where would i get this shred and wipe or both different programs [00:09] Cool, thanks.

[00:12] ljl nothing happen just told me to `shred --help and still nothing happen it show < [00:12] Starnestommy: Nope, neither. [00:12] Bluey: well, if everything is fine, you can just disable fsck from running, or run it manually, type man fsck for that [00:12] Starnestommy: At least I don't think.

[00:34] I guess I need to figure out my external IP at work and maybe test to see if it has the right ports open? [00:34] Green: the more iterations you make it do, the lower the chances of recovery. assuming your filesystem is not journalled again.

[00:37] tehdave: so, my answer is the nonfree plugin anyway [00:37] scrambledegg, yes azureus works. and also netbeans [00:37] jrib, okay thank you.. i will try it. [00:38] Ok should i burn Bactrack to a CD or DVD because it says the file is 701MB and my CD;s only hold 700MB.. [00:38] Darkmystere: then ask in -offtopic... i haven't the slightest idea to tell the trust. it might fit. i don't know, i burn a CD a year or so [00:38] i did they havent answerd.. [00:38] vix: do you have this symlink in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins: /etc/alternatives/firefox-javaplugin.so [00:38] I have a question for everyone. Is there a "killer app" that Ubuntu or linux has that no other OS has? [00:38] Alright...let's fix the question: Of the available SWF plugins, which is the most stable/best quality? [00:39] tehdave: flash. i.e. flashplugin-nonfree. [00:39] thanks [00:39] no pocketdrummer. most good linux apps have been ported to windows [00:39] LjL what will I gain (or loose) by running the noapi command_ [00:39] eg. open office, gimp, etc. [00:39] ljl is there any other program for linux to overwriting with pseudorandom data, Peter Gutmann's, etc. OR works best for NTFS ?? [00:39] pocketdrummer: Even if there was, you could probably use it on cygwin anyway [00:39] ciao a tutti [00:39] pocketdrummer, it's what Ubuntu and Linux DOESN"T have....trojans...viruses....etc [00:39] ljl like those options [00:39] vix: and the name was libjavaplugin.so :) ? [00:40] I've seen 2 linux viruses [00:40] vix: maybe its lib64 for you [00:40] scrambledegg, not now, i had it before but it was buggy. [00:40] RST.B and OSF [00:40] crusie: you know what, i never really quite understood that, i'll have to admit. especially, i've never quite understood what (if anything) you will lose with the "noapic" option, which is another that you should try [00:40] "another" ? [00:40] pocketdrummer: the reason you use linux is because you are a tinkering geek, you want awesome security, or you are running a server - windows cant really compete here [00:40] scrambledegg, it was libjavaplugin.so for me yes. [00:40] Green, all programs will work equally well or equally badly as far as NTFS goes. it depends on how the filesystem works, and i haven't really a clue [00:40] vix: you're using gcj ? [00:40] LjL wasn't that the one you wanted me to use? [00:41] crusie: no. i suggested "noacpi" and "acpi=off". now i'm suggesting "noapic" [00:41] I hate my isp x( [00:41] scrambledegg, i guess no, i dont know what it is [00:41] So I rebooted today and now my ctrl keys don't work.. Am I the only one? I probably am.. gah [00:41] Well, I guess to answer my own question, maybe Synaptic and the repository system is the killer app for linux? I can't think of another OS that has it. [00:41] LjL: How about "irqpoll"? No idea what you are talking about, though [00:41] macosx has something similar pocketdrummer [00:41] vix: its a GNU implementation of java, and its very buggy with applets [00:41] really? What's it called in OS X? [00:42] the only reason linux has synaptic is because it is a pain in the ass to install anything without it [00:42] vix: try issuing: update-alternatives --config java [00:42] apt-get equiv in osx is ports [00:42] in windows, you can just get an exe and install it [00:42] echosystm: That's true. [00:42] aptitude! [00:42] I have a strange problem with gnome-panel. I can't move or reorganize my panels. Right click menu only shows "Help" and "About". This probem only appears on my amd64 desktop. Searched the web and found nothing relevant. Can someone help? [00:42] in linux, there are millions of dependencies and packages [00:42] they do sudo port install proggy [00:42] pocketdrummer: same mechanism is available for windows too [00:42] youd have to be insane to download them all manually [00:43] there's a repository system for windows too? Wow, where have I been? lol [00:43] ljl Can i use eraser the http://www.heidi.ie/eraser/download.php [00:43] ljl on linux? [00:43] pocketdrummer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_management_system#Windows [00:43] scrambledegg, okay, now i can choose java version.. which one should i use? [00:44] vix: trye choosing sun java [00:44] pocketdrummer: i never have tested those, but i know windows-admins who use some of them (and also commercial ones) [00:44] echosystm - I remember hours of trying to resolve dependancy issues using rpm package manager on Redhat 6 .... [00:44] sunjava6 [00:44] vix: you got the package sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin right ? [00:44] scrambledegg: the plugin does not exist on 64bit [00:44] does anyone know how to install the mp3 libraries for sox? [00:45] jrib: really ? [00:45] scrambledegg, yes i have them installed. [00:45] i am trying to set my /home folder back to where it was ... the folder exists (located in /home/tma) but when i type "cd ~/home" in terminal it says "cannot find /home/tma/home" [00:45] Lr5_, crusie: i'd say to put them in order from least crippling to most, "noapic", "noacpi", "acpi=off", "irqpoll". noapic just means that the "advanced programmable interrupt controller" that's on newer computers won't be used, shouldn't be a big deal. "noacpi" and "acpi=off" mean that (part of?) ACPI won't be used, i assume that might impact power saving and such things, and i don't know what the difference is between the two. "irqpoll" means that some [00:45] relatively expensive checks are done on interrupts. i don't really know very precisely at all, i just know they're common options used to troubleshoot boot problems [00:45] jrib: not so sure about that [00:45] vix: ok then just try to update the alternatives and see if that works out [00:45] Green: seems like clearly a windows program to me [00:45] *-s [00:45] MrPiracy: thats probably because ~ = /home/tma [00:46] try cd ~, MrPiracy [00:46] scrambledegg: umm, ok?

[00:46] <|david|> hello [00:46] Jangari: ops, my bad ok [00:46] vix: dont think so [00:47] scrambledegg: then he is not using 64bit [00:47] anyone could tell me a command line to empty recycle bin? [00:47] My desktop would be complete with a 64bit java plugin (not) [00:47] jrib, what are you talking about ? [00:47] In gnome, how many different places are there to set programs to run on login? I've removed my compiz-fusion from System->Prefs->Sessions, but I can't seem to make it go away. [00:47] Green, i already answered best i could [00:48] jrib: sun-java6-bin is for amd64 i386 [00:48] scrambledegg: *plugin* [00:48] MrPiracy: I usually delete the contents of the various .Trash-* directories at the root of the mount point [00:48] jrib: ya okay then but firefox usually works with 32bit bindings [00:49] jrib: i mean shared libraries [00:49] scrambledegg: not by magic though :) [00:49] spudgunner: there's an error with my recycle bin, it won't complete emptying [00:49] jrib: no by automaticz0r [00:49] spudgunner: where's the location of the main trash bin? [00:49] jrib: or maybe not :) [00:49] jrib: nspluginwrapper is currently broken i think [00:50] still it doesnt work really with java in FF. [00:50] scrambledegg: :) I just wanted to make sure you understood the plugin package is not available on 64 bit so the you have to follow the !flash64 instructions. I had to go through this [00:50] when i test an applet its a red cross in the upper corner. [00:50] MrPiracy: try "rm -Rf /.Trash-USERNAME/*" [00:50] what?? - apparently I just signed off! [00:50] LjL I tried doing as you said - still no avail [00:50] MrPiracy: and replace USERNAME with your login name [00:51] !pastebin [00:51] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [00:51] jrib: i really dont get why a plugin isnt crossplatform while the whole JVM is [00:51] jrib, one question, I need to install 32bit firefox ? [00:51] spudgunner: it says no such file or directory [00:51] spudgunner, MrPiracy you may have to add sudo to the beginning of that line. [00:52] MrPiracy: sorry, its "rm -Rf /home/USERNAME/.Trash/*" [00:52] vix: 32bit ff worked flawlessly for me [00:52] MrPiracy: if you use 7.10 like me, your trash should be in ~/.Trash/ [00:52] MrPiracy: oreomike has it right [00:52] scrambledegg: blackdown java had a 64bit plugin. The bug on sun's tracker is several years old. They just don't care [00:52] vix: with flash and everything [00:52] spudgunner: :-) it worked, thanks [00:52] vix: yeah, the wiki page walks you through it [00:52] MrPiracy: np [00:53] hi are the packages i download with apt-get or synaptic kept on my hdd somewhere? i would like to save myself the download for my other machine [00:53] In gnome, how many different places are there to set programs to run on login? I've removed my compiz-fusion from System->Prefs->Sessions, but I can't seem to make it go away. Any other suggestions? [00:53] scrambledegg, okay, i got flash working in 64bit, so I can at least watch some youtubes now :D [00:53] hey im trying to install ubuntu gutsy on core2duo and i get "ata5.01: exception Emask.....action 0x2 frozen [00:53] kibb: /var/cache/apt/archives [00:53] heyas - having some grub dramas, would someone mind lending a hand in pm, theres a bit of situation explaining to do.. [00:53] vix: :P [00:53] Hi all, I have just got my screen res back to normal, but now non of the windows have a titlebar :( how do I get it back? [00:53] is everything there? [00:54] <|david|> spudgunner: make sure you disable it in appearence or it will keep starting it [00:54] |david|: done that too [00:54] cool cheers nickrud === johansja_ is now known as johansja [00:54] <|david|> hmmmm [00:54] Can anyone help me to reformat my external hard drive to be able to be used in Windows? [00:55] kibb: if they're on a network together, you might consider a proxy, like aptproxy === george_ is now known as BiLL_Yates [00:55] jw144000: what's the problem? [00:55] jw144000: mkfs.vfat /dev/sd* [00:55] i was thinking along the lines of a burned cd... its only going to be used once or twice thanks again [00:55] MrPiracy: I installed Gutsy Gibbon on the external hard drive, but now I'm considering a partition for it on my internal hard drive. Because I installed Gutsy on the external hard drive, Windows isn't recognizing it. [00:55] have to install an app from its source, but need kernel headers, is there a package for that? [00:55] Let's talk about something else!!! Let's talk about Vista....! [00:56] scrambledegg: Where do I enter that? [00:56] !offtopic | BiLL_Yates [00:56] BiLL_Yates: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:56] oreomike: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [00:56] Im trying to compile a 32bit app on a 64bit install of Ubuntu. I get an 'ld' error: "skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.1.3/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc" [00:56] |david|, do you know file-wise *where* setting those settings actually makes compiz start... I mean it has to be in some script somewhere... === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK [00:56] i assume its finding the 64bit version of that lib. how can i install the 32bit one [00:56] jw144000: you want to access your linux partition from windows? [00:56] <|david|> nickrud: you beat me to it!!!! [00:57] |david|: it's a text replace for me , lheaders :) [00:57] <|david|> spudgunner: init.d [00:57] jw144000: umm.. in a terminal.. remember to run it as superuser [00:57] MrPiracy: No, I want to be able to access my external hard drive in Windows again. Currently, only Linux will recognize it. [00:57] Is there a way to share more mem with my geforce 5200 vid card other than the 32mb allowed in the bios? [00:57] jw144000: if you are in windows right now, you can use disk management or fdisk to erase the partitions on the external drive and create other partitions (then format them) [00:57] jw144000: is your external hd partitioned? any fat/ntfs partition in it? [00:57] <|david|> jw144000: you have to format it to fat32 or ntfs [00:58] jw144000: i wouldnt go for ntfs [00:58] spudgunner: create the file ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig/disable , that will stop compiz [00:58] jw144000 or you can get the ext2fs driver for windows [00:58] jw144000 mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/XXX [00:58] its made by the same people that made putty [00:58] MrPiracy: Currently, I have no fat32 or ntfs partitions on my external hard drive. [00:58] probably have to use sudo too [00:58] oreomike: where do i get this driver? [00:58] im using the CUPS web interface at localhost:631 and when i try to add a printer, it pops a username/password, I enter my username and password and it rejects it === u^A is now known as u^A_ [00:58] only account [00:58] <|david|> scrambledegg: true enough, some people still like their win-dos though [00:58] I'm in Windows at the moment [00:59] hey can anyone help me out, i accidently set the permissions of /etc to 440 yes i know im stupid PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME, im in the ubuntu livecd because ubuntu wont boot [00:59] jw144000, then go to disk management [00:59] jw144000 "Disk Management" in "computer management" should be able to see the drive, and you can reformat it from there [00:59] jw144000: if you don't have partitions windows can read (f.e.: fat, fat32, ntfs), windows will always tell you there's no partitions in that drive [00:59] i installed a new hard drive today, and i'm confused by the output of "df -h" ? [00:59] MrPiracy, google? ;-) http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd [00:59] nickrud: thanks, hopefully that will fix it [00:59] jw144000, or simply use fdisk [00:59] |david|: its just those problems with ntfs and linux [00:59] <|david|> xSnOoPyx: cd / [01:00] hello. on #fluxbox ive been told that the ubuntu package for fluxbox is broken (is was trying to find out why my iconbar images are all garbled). is there a remedy for that? [01:00] dr-raku: I tried accessing "Disk Management", and I can't for some reason. [01:00] jw144000, disk management is in the administrative tools (control panel) [01:00] uh huh [01:00] |david|: ubuntu hardy screwed up my windows partition yesterday [01:00] Then |david| ? [01:00] <|david|> xSnOoPyx: then chmod 777 /etc [01:00] scrambledegg and jrib: thank you for your help... java works flawlessy in firefox32 now :) [01:00] <|david|> xSnOoPyx: then chmod 777 etc [01:00] |david|: he'd want to mount it first [01:00] jw144000: dont go for ext2fs either [01:00] <|david|> sorry [01:00] jw144000, then you could erase the ext partitions from fdisk [01:00] Is there a way to share more mem with my geforce 5200 vid card other than the 32mb allowed in the bios? [01:00] jw14400: FAT32 is safest.. [01:00] <|david|> Phildo: true [01:00] wait no [01:00] xSnOoPyx: 755 [01:00] xSnOoPyx: you are in a world of hurt, there's a lot of dirs and files in there with specialized permissions [01:00] vix: np [01:01] no the thing is is that, im in livecd right now [01:01] xSnOoPyx: yes like nickrud said, if you recursively changed permissions, you're in trouble [01:01] nickrud: i doubt he used -R :> [01:01] i cant boot into ubuntu [01:01] * nickrud can only hope [01:01] yes i recursively changed htem [01:01] haha [01:01] it worked 777 [01:01] can someone explain to me why my /home partition has a size of 449gb, used space of 199mb, and free space of 426gb ? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55429/ [01:01] but sudo didnt [01:01] hello [01:01] so gosh darn it [01:01] not cool [01:01] anyone know what to do in this situation? [01:01] su doesn't seem to be working for me -- I know my root password, and I can sudo -i, I just can't su [01:02] Any ideas? [01:02] xSnOoPyx: you will need to reinstall, it would take days to repair that [01:02] Draicone: theyre not the same thing [01:02] xSnOoPyx: of hunting down the right permissions, etc [01:02] Phildo: Err... what does su do? [01:02] oh gotcha. [01:02] but uh [01:02] Draicone: actually changes your user to the real 'root' [01:02] !sudo | Draicone [01:02] Draicone: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [01:02] what about all my settings and files? [01:02] Draicone: su asks for the root password, which ubuntu doesnt have by default [01:02] xSnOoPyx: do you have a separate home partition? [01:02] <|david|> Draicone: it switches your user to another in the terminal [01:02] Draicone: whereas sudo keeps your user, but gives you root permissions. [01:02] what do you mean? [01:02] yes [01:03] Draicone: thus 'sudo' root : [01:03] :> [01:03] "/home" if thats what you mean [01:03] <|david|> use su like this- su USERNAME [01:03] xSnOoPyx: then when you reinstall, tell the installer not to format your home partition and all your settings (except for the stuff in etc) will be kept [01:03] anyone run though this yet? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75978&highlight=bluetooth+headset [01:03] gotrcha [01:03] and where does it come to that [01:03] ? [01:03] scrambledegg: I'm pretty sure I set the root password manually at one point [01:03] xSnOoPyx: during the partitioning phase [01:03] ah [01:03] okay im on step 7 [01:04] sorry [01:04] <|david|> that will switch the user to your user as ROOT priviledges, and it'll work [01:04] step 4 [01:04] i choose manual partitioning? [01:04] Phildo: So what password is sudo -i asking me for? [01:04] xSnOoPyx: yes [01:04] Draicone: set it again :) sudo passwd root [01:04] dr-raku: I'm in Disk Management, but Windows still isn't recognizing the drive; I don't see the drive letter. [01:04] Draicone: your user password. [01:04] right [01:04] Draicone: but i dont recommend it [01:04] and now, how do i specify [01:04] xSnOoPyx: I don't do a lot of installs, so I can't really walk you through the exact commands [01:04] Draicone: as your user has been allowed (in /etc/sudoers) to use sudo root. [01:04] oh [01:05] xSnOoPyx: plus, I use the alternate install when I do :) [01:05] jw144000 Windows should still be able to see the disk, even if it's in an unrecognized format. [01:05] Draicone: all that auth is for, is to make sure you are authorised as that user. (and someone hasnt stolen your term etc) [01:05] partition is ext3 right ? [01:05] you can do sudo su if you want to become root in terminal without having to keep typing sudo [01:05] anyone know what the gtk2 dev files are called? [01:05] thats what type it is ? [01:05] prolly like gtk2-devel [01:05] or gtk-dev [01:05] ot somtething [01:05] jarred: i think "su -" will also work instead. [01:05] sudo -s or sudo -i :) [01:05] mjw: I see it now. So where do I go from here? [01:06] gtt: uh? no, it won't, as there is no valid root password [01:06] just use sudo -s [01:06] anyone use muddleftp >? [01:06] :> [01:06] jw144000 try right clicking it or something, should give you a format option. [01:06] !rootshell [01:06] Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) === ALLCAPS is now known as andril [01:06] ah.. [01:06] sudo -i , be a real root [01:06] im having a problem... i get err 503 invalid password [01:06] learn soemthing all the time [01:06] ;) get a real root, sudo -i [01:06] i set the password tons of times with mudpass [01:06] Ah, got it. Thanks Phildo, scrambledegg, |david| [01:06] nickrud, is that right ? [01:06] xSnOoPyx: yes [01:07] muddleftp? [01:07] nvm i found it [01:07] hi, I am having lockups on my thinkpad r52 1849-4wu laptop. It should not be related to video card(ATI Card) driver since I freeze occurs both when on fglrx and on free software driver. It should not be related to wireless driver because it freezes when it is hard connected, too. After freeze I booted with an Ubuntu live CD and tarred the /var/log folder. But inspecting the logs I could not see anything interesting. Can Anybody help me/assist me tr [01:07] acking this problem, please? [01:07] what's the path to the file where system folders are located (Desktop, downloads, music, ...)? [01:07] xSnOoPyx: that is, if you mean ext3. Do not do anything to the partition that /home is on, except identify it as /home [01:07] MrPiracy /home/$USERNAME ... aka "~" [01:07] bah [01:08] ok forget my previous question, it was locked. unlocked it in gconf-editor [01:08] is there any way of converting ntfs to ext3 without loosing dat [01:08] jarred: no [01:08] mjw-: no, I want the configuration file ubuntu uses to get these paths [01:08] has anyone tried out the new version of truecrypt ? [01:08] which has a gui btw [01:08] whats the difference between ext2 vs ext3 [01:09] and fat32 vs ext3 [01:09] what is ubuntube? :D [01:09] How can I remove my ubuntu;s user password? [01:09] jarred: journaling [01:09] whats journaling [01:09] you can't remove a password, but you can have it auto-login as that user [01:09] anyone know any good video editing software? [01:09] nickrud, it wont let me continue the installation, [01:09] lack of it means lots of errors when you dont shutdown cleanly [01:09] jarred, I suggest wikipedia [01:09] MrPiracy beats me, not sure if that's configurable with a simple file or not. [01:09] jarred: journalling between 2 and 3, and max file size (2gb limit to vfat) as a minimum diff [01:10] xSnOoPyx: I do not know the live cd at all [01:10] jarred, fat32 is an old file system that was used in windows OS but also works in many linux systems like ubuntu. [01:10] what's the path to the configuration file ubuntu uses to find system folders like Desktop, downloads, music, ...?

You can set up X to auto login a specific user. [01:11] jarred: look for a .Trash dir on the ntfs partition [01:11] ok [01:12] xSnOoPyx: then you haven't set up a root partition, the one that goes on / . [01:12] jarred, suggest you share a ext3 dir with linux and windows instead [01:12] xSnOoPyx: and be sure that it's not the same as /home [01:12] MrPiracy check the link ubotu directed you to...that may be able to help [01:12] Dr_willis, I said a user not root account [01:12] anyone familiar with muddleftp?

I'm guessing only the Geforce2MX card only comes up? [01:25] benny269: can you try this in the terminal: octave while 1 ; end C-c [01:25] does it close it? [01:25] is there any way to integrate programs into an ubuntu cd to install [01:25] can someone help me get vidalia working please :( ? [01:25] jarred: you want a customized ubunut CD. there are many ways, I guess. [01:25] mjw-, yeah, only the Geforce2MX come up [01:26] is there any programs with a decent gui like nlite [01:26] like a nlite for ubuntu [01:26] Hirvinen: shit the exploit works [01:26] rdavila i'm not familiar with nvidia cards/x.org servers...is the nvidia server the proprietary NVidia driver? [01:26] hon: yeah that breaks the loop [01:26] Alright I have set permissions completely at 777 [01:26] hon: in koctave C-c first time beeps, C-c beeps and warns 1 more time will abort, 3rd time it closes koctave [01:26] mjw- because it might not support the TNT2...that's getting kind of old. the "nv" server might work with it. [01:27] er, that last one was directed to you rdavila [01:27] alright thanks nickrud for all your help see you later [01:27] even with the newest kernel in hardy [01:27] for future reference http://frugalcoder.us/post/2008/02/Setting-up-mod_mono-(ASPNet-20)-on-Ubuntu-710-(Gutsy-Gibbon).aspx [01:27] hey does anyone know how people address each other with the big box around it ? [01:27] mjw-: I was not much of this, because it seems to me that if the driver "nvidia" and not "nv" [01:27] Mentioned exploit works also at least on older 2.6.17-12. Not on 2.6.20-16 though. [01:28] mjw-: then i try to change from ''nvidia to 'nv' for this device? [01:28] is there any gui programs thajt let you integrate programs into an ubuntu cd [01:28] hon: tried running the program in terminal and same thing happens, C-c 3 times necessary to end process but ended octave instance as well [01:28] rdavila yes...change line 93 to Driver "nv" [01:29] mjw-: thanks, i come back ;) [01:29] rdavila ok, let me know [01:29] benny269: do you use the features provided by koctave? I recommend using a text editor like emacs or vim with octave in terminal (or in emacs). That keeps things a lot leaner and more reliable. That's how most people I know use octave. [01:29] only account [01:29] anyone knows if there's an updated version for intel video cards for gutsy? i've tried both i810 and intel but they're kinda buggy [01:29] im using the CUPS web interface at localhost:631 and when i try to add a printer, it pops a username/password, I enter my username and password and it rejects it [01:29] benny269: I also do the same with matlab. [01:30] hon: i was using koctave for familiarity with the matlab interface, no other reason. emacs is better? [01:30] gigaclon, what re;ease of ubuntu?

[01:31] benny269: I found that I actually don't need the matlab interface either. Matlab was too buggy and slow for certain GUI things.

[02:14] you never told us the real problem.. [02:14] !who | Cromag [02:14] Cromag: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:14] winnerrlz93, did you install linux or windows first? [02:14] i had windows [02:14] winnerrlz93: did you turn it on? [02:14] mm [02:14] i have windows [02:14] had? [02:14] so it was on first winnerrlz93? [02:14] yes [02:14] Ah..so, all I have to do is wait for Seveaz. [02:14] whats the problem [02:15] ubuntu won't boot [02:15] please be less specific [02:15] did you just install ubuntu? [02:15] ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,oh i know whats wrong! [02:15] wait no i dont... [02:15] i can't [02:15] then be more specific [02:15] winnerrlz93, you are trying to instal ubunt ? [02:15] it won't even in install [02:15] yes [02:15] ooooh [02:15] set your bios boot first to cdrom winnerrlz93 [02:15] .......wow [02:15] im done [02:16] i tried that [02:16] does it even try to boot the disc? [02:16] winnerrlz93, ok , put the cd in , when you boot the computer hit F8 , to get the boot device selector and pick the cd to boot from [02:16] winnerrlz93: what happwns.. [02:16] what proportion of the Desktop Linux market would you estimate that Ubuntu holds? [02:16] wat? [02:16] fex about 6% we are told [02:16] winnerrlz93: what happens.. [02:16] fez, guestimate of at least 50 [02:16] winnerrlz93: what does it do [02:16] !doesnt work [02:16] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [02:16] market? :)) [02:16] it just boots windows === max__ is now known as MaxJay [02:17] somewhere between 6% and 50% eh? [02:17] all newb linuxes seem to run ubuntu [02:17] did you even install ubuntu? [02:17] winnerrlz93: so it does not see the cdrom - did you burn it as the ISO it is ? [02:17] winnerrlz93, you'll have to check your computer's manual to figure out how to boot from the cd === vix is now known as vix|away [02:17] why isn't it called n00buntu [02:17] yes it's an iso file [02:17] winnerrlz93: what do you mean its an iso file [02:17] fez, maybe not all ubuntu guys are "newb" - as you think [02:17] first off, just because it's easy to use doesn't mean it's *made* for newbs [02:17] when i open the cd in my computer it shows it as a iso [02:17] winnerrlz93: i know, but you will need to burn it as an image. [02:18] ok? [02:18] the logitech quckcam 5000 is suppsed to work out of the box but camora does work its says it can't connect to /dev/video0 [02:18] fez, ubuntu is the current superstart distro, it's easy to install and easy to use, it's a good starter distro for new linux users [02:18] did you burn the iso winnerrlz93? [02:18] i took the .rar file and burnt it to a c [02:18] cd [02:18] second off, just because you run your own compiled version from the gnu tree and compiled everything yourself doesn't make you "1337" [02:18] omg winnerrlz93 [02:18] unagi: i think he did, as a data disk and not an iso/image [02:18] you have to burn the image to a cd [02:19] winnerrlz93, did you copy the .iso file to the cd or did you burn an image ? .iso is a special format, it's a cd image , to make perfect copies of a cd, it is not a file you burn to a cd [02:19] Yeah, after all gentoo's fine, but since most people use OSes for practical purposes, how many need that much control over their distro? [02:19] Cromag: i dont think hes ready for this [02:19] winnerrlz93, :)) you didn't burned the iso but burned the iso file instead === Jannita is now known as Johanna [02:19] unagi: oh i believe you are SO right. [02:19] the only "1337" people are the developers that do the work of coding for no profit [02:19] oh ok [02:19] I can't find my firewire port under hardware information. How do I search for it from Terminal? I want to buy a firewire harddrive but I'm not sure if it'll work with Ubuntu [02:19] does anyone have a workaround for the broken emdebian-tools package? [02:19] how do i burn it as an iso? [02:19] how do I install that flash thingie from adobe's webpage? [02:19] winnerrlz93: you need some sort of cd burning program [02:20] does it need to be unzipped? [02:20] winnerrlz93, you should "burn image" in your burn application for that iso file [02:20] when I run the installer it says [02:20] winnerrlz93, what software do you use to burn cds in windows ? [02:20] roxio [02:20] Leechzilla, it will. I've used something like 15 different firewire devices with my Ubuntu box with no trouble at all. [02:20] cdburningxp.se will do it. [02:20] winnerrlz93, not put the iso file on the cd; it's not the same thing [02:20] hi [02:20] winnerrlz93, I dont, knoqw that one, but check in the menus for a burn image command [02:20] it says I have to get my admin to remove xpti.dat or something [02:20] TheLastDodo: How do I find out if the port is Firewire 400 or Firewire 800? [02:20] well i'll admit ubuntu's hardware compatibility is quite good [02:20] Leechzilla, their phsically different [02:20] Good question. One sec. [02:21] however, trying to install it on my 500mhz p3 laptop was not happening [02:21] Ah, okay [02:21] check wikipedia Leechzilla [02:21] the installer was slower than mollasis [02:21] Hi folks! Got a question at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55434/ [02:21] fez, try with the alternate isntall cd but at 500 mhz you are stretching it a bit [02:21] fez: did you try the alternate cd? [02:21] do i have to extract the file? [02:21] no [02:21] I have the same problem. I don't know how to burn an image. XP has Nero, but I got Alcohol 120 set it to burn image made the disk and it still wont work. Any ideas ? [02:21] Pelo: you still here ? [02:21] you recon i should do you? [02:21] fez: i installed on my 300MHz P2 [02:22] fez, xubuntu might be more along the lines of wat you need, or puppylinux even [02:22] crusie, apparently [02:22] sweet :D [02:22] sme^: try with imgburn [02:22] sme^: really simple. === MightBeFBIGuy is now known as FBIGuy [02:22] can i burn an image with dameon?

[02:23] rabidweezle: some people take computers far too seriously. :P [02:23] so if i take the files from the iso cd i mad how do i make into an iso image? [02:23] winnerrlz93, search for "burn image/iso" option on your burning app [02:23] for real TheLastDodo [02:24] hentaixp, my laptop specs state "(4pin) i.LINK® connector (IEEE 1394)", so that's Firewire 400, right? [02:24] crusie, I have it in several temp folders under /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/.....default/ [02:24] winnerrlz93, don't drag that iso file onto a new compilation/cd; it doesnt' work like that [02:24] rabidweezel: my computer is my wife.

System log shows this "Feb 9 20:18:19 gwb01 syslogd 1.4.1#21ubuntu3: restart." when it booted back up but nothing unusual prior to it. Any way to figure out what made it shut off?

[02:27] for gutsy [02:27] SeekerX6, yes [02:27] for most [02:27] fez: yeah. the alternate cd is a text-based installer. my system was very slow, but still a bit faster than windows when i did it. xubuntu uses xfce which is like gnome but a bit lighter weight, so you might wanna get the altenrate xubuntu cd and install that [02:27] Seeker`, in GUTSY, yes it does [02:27] pelo, getting out of what? [02:27] it does?

[02:31] Cromag, g'night [02:32] does any one know if thers a ap for ubuntu that will play network shares on my linux lappy? [02:32] Pelo: well maybe I should just learn to read what it says.. [02:32] with out copying the file [02:32] Cromag, puppy linux is also good for older machine very light [02:32] crusie, ? [02:32] xubuntu eh? how does it differ [02:32] Pelo: I had to relog for it to wok :D [02:32] I figured it out. I needed TCL on the remote system. thanks. [02:32] is there any way to check if Compisite is on or off for the X server from the command line? [02:33] WorkingOnWise: yup (looking it up, sec) [02:33] jasonUSA, they all can , just mount the shared folder on your ubuntu machine [02:33] jasonUSA: are you trying to play movies from network shares or some such? [02:33] ok so i go to the folder its in and right clik on the file and mount? [02:33] crdlb: cool...ty, and where did u look...I hate asking these simple questions, but don't know where to look for the answers.... [02:34] WorkingOnWise: xdpyinfo -queryExtensions | grep -q Composite [02:34] WorkingOnWise: look at /usr/bin/compiz :) [02:34] jasonUSA, can you see the folder from your computer ? yes ? ok, open the app you want to read the file in and open the file from there [02:34] Pelo, I've tried some port scanning sites. None of which could find any open ports. Will this keep me from connecting to my game server? [02:34] ok [02:34] i think i tryed that but ill do it agen [02:34] lulzturtle, it shouldn't [02:34] yes i can see it on my computer [02:34] does anyone know why i can only get 24mb connection on my broadcom wireless? [02:34] ty guys so much i love ubuntu [02:34] Sweeeeeeeet. Can watch youtube now. [02:35] Pelo, I'm trying to connect to a dedicated server I made for Team Fortress 2. I wasn't sure if maybe ports were blocked. [02:35] does anybody know why my inte/pro wireless 3945ABG cuts the connection off randomly? [02:35] nobody on windows could figure it out, hp, or intel [02:35] hi [02:35] it happens on windows and linux [02:35] Tyger: Broadcom cards are pretty finicky. Are you using the open source driver or the windows driver in ndiswrapper? [02:35] lulzturtle, when you connect to a game server you are the one making the connection and the ports are opened accordingly , or some such, I 'm not the best person to ask [02:35] i dont see my network link on the vlc open file screen [02:35] Pelo, Okey, thanks :) [02:36] peabody: im using the bcm43xx-fwcutter...i dont think ive installed ndiswrapper [02:36] buy i see in natuols [02:36] nautilus? [02:36] lulzturtle: ubuntu does not listen on any ports by default, so *inbound* connections are rejected. outbound is wide open [02:36] lulzturtle, try finding a channel for the game itself, maybe you need to adjust some setting in the game [02:36] can someone tell me why I can't get a connection to the internet with airport on my macbook when i use ubuntu live cd? [02:36] yes [02:36] sorry] [02:36] laterfolks [02:36] peabody: im only 10ft from my router and i can only get 61% connection... [02:36] is ftp ok to use on a lan, rather than smb? [02:37] i kind of can't be bothered setting up samba lol [02:37] speeddemon8803: the file browser and the thing that shows the bg image in gnome [02:37] peabody: should i try the ndiswrapper? [02:37] tyger, i cant get ANY connection to my own router from my pc. [02:37] macogw, so does that mean if the server I made on ubuntu has been told to use port 27015 for connections it will use it no problem? [02:37] lulzturtle: yep [02:37] Tyger: I would. I have a broadcom and it behaves much better using the windows drivers with ndiswrapper [02:37] macogw, Is there a way to test that? [02:37] lulzturtle: but if it's behind a router, you need to tell the router to forward that port to the server [02:37] Macogw i am aware of nautiuls, was just asking if i was reading it right. [02:37] speeddemon8803: oh ok sorry [02:38] peabody: well i have the windows driver (bcmwl5.sys)....just not ndiswrapper... [02:38] macogw, oh okey. I think it's behind my company's PIX router, probably out of luck in that case heh [02:38] hurm i just installed swiftweasle32 but flash games seem to run in slow motion [02:38] lulzturtle: from outside you network you could try to telnet in on that port and if it connects, the port's open. could also go to one of those websites that portscans you [02:38] As i said before I am very much so deep into ubuntu and linux...I definately know ubuntu like the back of my hand. :) [02:38] speeddemon8803: ive never seen your nick before *shrug* [02:39] macogw, cool. I'd just love to get this Team Fortress 2 dedicated server running. I guess it's just not going to be :( [02:39] macogw...im a beginner forum team member..but thats ok, hardly anybody knows me. :) [02:39] Tyger: apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [02:39] I am looked at as being a new user that doesnt know anything about the rules of the room or the forum...which is fine with me honestly. [02:40] how how can i mount this movie file to play on my ubuntu comptuer? [02:40] crdlb: will that return nothing if Composite is on?

I suck with the google and can't find any sites to help with the specifics of it :P [02:44] crdlb: then that brings to another problem. I do not want composite on most of the time. Only if I am gonna show off Compiz-Fusion. I cant find how to turn it off in my xorg.conf. I have tried Composite "False" "Disabled" and "0", based on howto's and a person in the ##xorg channel....any ideas? Composite is stubborn. It wants to live!

[02:44] a few hours ago many are replying to my threads at ubuntu forums [02:44] now there are none [02:44] like [02:44] WorkingOnWise: what is composite itself breaking? what video card?

[02:47] crdlb: video is Nvidia 6100 in a laptop, works perfect. So much eyecandy my eye cavities have cavities :D But, I run 2 windows apps, both 3d, with wine. if I run them with compiz on, they break in strange ways. Wine is such a moving target still that i never know if the problem is wine or my app. Well, if composite is off totally, I cant accidentally run the apps with compiz enabled, and hopefull reduce my headaches [02:47] i mean, that's a difference of 15gigs which is a rather sizeable chunk? [02:48] jason> r u there [02:48] #ubuntu.fi [02:48] crdlb: oh, the latest Nvidia proprietary drivers too..169.09 iirc [02:48] karlo yes it means it was installed because something depended on it, but you removed whatever pulled it in, so now its just taking up space [02:48] * Kuwanger wonders why cpu usage spikes when switching windows. [02:48] karlo: autoremove means that another package depended on it, and that package was removed.

[03:34] Keddy, no problem man. [03:34] Loa, I don't know, what is Mewthree?

[03:35] <_Oz_> been playing with compiz all day [03:35] i didn't knew [03:36] I'm looking for something that can make the desktop bigger than my screen (cause it's a TV and small) and then I can drag my mouse around the edges to move the viewing window. If someone could just tell me what this is called, that'd help a lot too. [03:36] !hi | _Oz_ [03:36] _Oz_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:36] soldats: ^^ [03:36] thinman1189: try "sudo /etc/rc0.d/S15wpa-ifupdown restart" in terminal [03:36] <_Oz_> hi speeddomon [03:36] hello anyone experience with ati x1250 video? [03:36] thinman1189: but reboot would do the same [03:36] <_Oz_> well, I am finally hitting some practical limits in my quest to ditch XP altogether for ubuntu [03:36] specifically with enabling dual monitor? [03:37] <_Oz_> problem: you can't really run m$ word and excel perfectly, and adobe photoshop cs2 is not production-quality. [03:37] lhoerste: i called it "oops" when it happened to me [03:37] hieppo, I searched a little, and got mine to work in 20 min.. (nvidia ) [03:37] !ubotu \speech-to-text [03:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about speech-to-text - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:37] speach to text haha [03:37] I know about nvidia. I had it working with an nvidia card too. it is quite easy compared to ati drivers [03:37] _Oz_: install virtualbox and run windows in a vm then [03:37] Funny, but I like using it [03:37] Hi, I have an installation question...should I ask here or is there another channel I should be in? [03:37] loa, it didn't work. cabrioleur, i've tried rebooting my computer, do you mean that rebooting or what loa said? [03:37] this is the right channel [03:38] my current setup has a monitor on dvi and a projector on hdmi [03:38] <_Oz_> macogw: how's the performance penalty? [03:38] _Oz_: virtualbox can do that mode parallels does where the programs that are running in Windows are just floating on your desktop instead of inside a box [03:38] _Oz_: smaller than with vmware [03:38] <_Oz_> can I really design in adobe photoshop without a huge hit? [03:38] <_Oz_> mm [03:38] <_Oz_> I like the idea of a parallels-style interface [03:38] look at your settings vim /etc/network/interfaces [03:38] _Oz_: virtualbox is the fastest virtual machine, based on the benchmarks i saw, if you pre-allocate the hard drive space (setting "dynamic" so it resizes as you use space makes it very slow though) [03:38] route -n [03:38] seriously...they push a firefox update down that breaks flash. right on [03:38] thinman1189: both, what I said and what he said, is done during reboot as well. [03:39] ok..here's the question- keep in mind, I've joined the ubuntu forum, and I've googled and read a few documents. [03:39] _Oz_, You mean where each windows application has it's own window? [03:39] It doesn't seem like anyone is addressing a brand new hd w/o an os installed, and I remember reading once that in order to dual boot, windows had to go on first... [03:39] lhoerste, edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. look for a line called "Virtual" and change the resolution (back it up first!) [03:39] <_Oz_> I need to play a bit with virtualbox [03:39] <_Oz_> it doesn't look super user-friendly [03:39] I think you reconfigure something wrong... [03:39] <_Oz_> then again, I'm an idiot [03:39] _Oz_: yup. you'll need to install windows in a virtualbox vm, but once you have that and the virtualbox driver installed in windows, your windows windows and ubuntu windows can be side-by-side :D [03:39] CARRESS: It doesnt have to go on first, it just makes it way easier to setup [03:39] <_Oz_> i think it is very userfriendly) [03:40] loa, all i did was turn off my wireless and turn on wired. the settings look the same but it won't work [03:40] <_Oz_> arielmt: I will do it. [03:40] bad, ok.. so I should put on windows first, and partition the hd thru windows?

Many of the HDD cd's come with partitioners as well [03:42] _Oz_: i dont know what else has changed since the article was written. i dont use that mode. itd be silly when my virtual machine is debian without X :P [03:42] <_Oz_> openoffice is fine for simple stuff, but if you dig past skin deep it's not really compatible with office 2003 [03:42] can OOo understand office 2k7's format?

[04:11] pocketwatch, in the ubuntu doc they said to use 5901 [04:11] Jack_Sparrow: sure [04:12] RochJer: Changing sources isnt going to help with java [04:12] Blue_Sassley, or that [04:12] cabroni_: it can open/save powerpoint files too [04:12] Okay. [04:12] i have my internal hard disk and an external one [04:12] i had windows xp on the internal one and installed fedora core [04:12] then i plugged my external and installed on it ubuntu [04:12] now if i boot the grub from the external everything works [04:12] but if i boot grub on the internal one i get grub error 21 [04:12] sanesto: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:12] What is the best solution to fix the pogo.com with java ? [04:12] pocketwatch, so yeah I am tunneling via 5901 [04:12] Blue_Sassley, in system > preferences > remote desktop, enable "allow ... to connect" [04:12] for anything that uses pidgin, is there anyway to make the minimized message flash at the bottom when a new message arrives?, instead of the tray icon changing? OR can you suggest a better multiprotocol IM program? [04:13] BRB [04:13] i have my internal hard disk and an external one i had windows xp on the internal one and installed fedora core then i plugged my external and installed on it ubuntu now if i boot the grub from the external everything works but if i boot grub on the internal one i get grub error 21 [04:13] pocketwatch, ok, let me check now [04:13] Blue_Sassley, i had some trouble recently with that myself, but once i enabled that it worked. [04:13] how can i fix it ? [04:13] sanesto, And someone correct me if I'm wrong, couldn't you copy menu.lst over to the internal HD and just change a bit of stuff to makeit work from there? [04:13] What is the best solution to fix the pogo.com with java ? (just wanted an opinion) [04:14] yea i can do that but i don't know what to change [04:14] ok, Im opening it now, but it take low my laptop, Are exist a "lite" version of Impress? [04:14] sanesto: the grub that works...does it show the 3 OSs? [04:14] sanesto: I think you have to edit menu.lst [04:14] yea [04:14] it shows them all [04:14] xp fedora and ubuntu [04:14] sanesto: you want to get rid of grub? [04:14] Flashq009: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=170333 [04:14] i just want a way to boot the 3 os whether i have my external plugged in or not [04:14] Flashq009: I hope this works [04:14] which contains ubuntu installation [04:14] I say copy menu.lst... the drive references will all be wrong I think, though the kernels will be right [04:14] Cylex>> thank you. [04:15] cylex i'm not sure if it matters but i had to use ndiswrapper to get it to work in the first place [04:15] pocketwatch, ok I just tested it and still got the error... am I suppose to run the vncviewer command in the SSH session? [04:15] i copied menu.lst and still got error 21 [04:15] Blue_Sassley, can you connect from the host machine to itself (as a test) [04:15] ... [04:15] sanesto: it's not possible unless you run Virtual Machine software [04:15] hmmm [04:15] sanesto, my last comment makes me sound like a jerk.. not sure how else to put it. anyway.... did you change the drive references? [04:16] there's no way to have ubuntu on the external and fedora + xp on the internal ? [04:16] no, i'm not good with drive references [04:16] sanesto: not that I know of [04:16] sanesto: Did you install to the external last? [04:16] yea [04:16] i did [04:16] pocketwatch, yes I have tested with just vncviewer [04:16] last thing i did was ubuntu on external [04:16] (hd0,0) those parts [04:16] thinman1189: got it working? [04:16] Can I change the Input Method of a program from the command line? [04:17] Hey folks... Rather than fart around wiht a gutsy disc.. can anyone tell me what usually will give a "diskette drive 0 seek failure" ? I've disabled the floppy, checked RAM... [04:17] sanesto: If you installed grub to the onboard mbr and not the bootable usb drive the onboard drive will only look for grub on the external [04:17] (eg, in some text areas you can right-click, select Input Method, and choose one... Other types of text areas do not allow this) [04:17] pocketwatch, and the command I'm running is: vncviewer -via : === _max is now known as max [04:17] cylex : no [04:17] so if i reinstall grub on fedora [04:17] sanesto: Copy the menu list all you want, without the external it will not work [04:18] i mean [04:18] thinman1189: try backing up everything and reinstalling the distro [04:18] (the problem is that in some applications the keyboard goes dead, and I have to select an input method (such as SCIM or default)) [04:18] Blue_Sassley, one sec, checking something [04:18] if i reinstall fedora on internal [04:18] pocketwatch, ok thanks [04:18] i should be able to boot os on internal [04:18] ? [04:18] sanesto: You would reinstall grub to the mbr of the onboard pointing to fedora. [04:19] how do i reinstall grub ? [04:19] cylex won't work. i had a lot of trouble and used ndiswrapper to get this to work in the first place. it's not an out of the box card. === bmk789_ is now known as bmk789 [04:19] sanesto: Grub in fedora can point to the external drive [04:19] thinman1189: ah [04:19] aha [04:19] so to reinstall grub [04:19] of fedora [04:19] what i do [04:20] Blue_Sassley, i'm not going to be much help with the linux to linux connection since i used putty on a windows box at work to connect at home :( [04:20] I am in the middle of another project, so I cant give you the time for that.. SInce it is fedora and reinstalling grub they might be able to help as well [04:20] pocketdrummer, thats fine [04:20] anything involving video playback is flickering badly on my ubuntu restricted driver are installed direct rendering returns yes any ideas? [04:20] so i reinstal fedora? [04:20] sanesto: Also please dont PM people without asking [04:20] using ati x1400 gpu [04:20] pocketwatch, thats fine can you help me with what you did for your windows to linux connection [04:21] sanesto: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Multiboot-with-GRUB-2.html [04:21] pocketwatch, because that is really what I want anyway I just didn't know how much help I was going to get :) [04:21] Blue_Sassley, i pretty much followed the howto @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH [04:21] pocketwatch, so have I :( [04:21] in other words, can i do something like im-switch, but have it affect a particular application? [04:21] pocketwatch, are you using putty? [04:21] acee1234: In the xorg Option "Composite" "disable" #Added from Wiki.. If you do not set it to Disable: you can get jerky video display [04:21] Blue_Sassley, not atm, i dont have access to a windows machine at home [04:21] <_Oz_> so [04:22] <_Oz_> virtualbox doesn't work with compiz [04:22] <_Oz_> that's uncool. [04:22] _Oz_: Yes it does.. rather well in my case [04:22] <_Oz_> badkitty: oh? [04:22] sanesto: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/ (betterversion) [04:22] Oh, Hey... Now instead of the diskette error, I just get the word GRUB at the top of the screen [04:22] <_Oz_> I just read http://blog.gobanquet.com/index.php/virtualbox-15-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/ [04:22] runnung any sort of 3d/compiz/games under virtualbox will be... lacking. :) [04:22] <_Oz_> it says you have to disable compiz. you were able to get around it? [04:22] What is compiz? [04:22] pocketwatch, well when you are at work what is the command you use to start the VNC session? [04:22] or you mean running virtualbox on a machine that has compiz also setup? [04:22] _Oz_: Well how come I keep my vbox on my left desktop and scroll over to it when I need it? [04:23] !compiz | cylex [04:23] I just watched the good the bad and the ugly tonight...

How could it have effects..inside? [04:23] <_Oz_> all I really want virtualbox to do is run office 2007 and photoshop cs3. If it can do that, I'm sold. [04:23] Jack_Sparrow: im a bit new where is that file and what do i look for under wiki [04:23] Dr_willis: thx [04:23] _Oz_, it should be able to do that. or use vmware, or you might want to check out crossover-office. [04:23] Blue_Sassley, i used tightvncviewer (standalone) and the ip was localhost::5900 or 5901 i forgot since itried them both [04:23] _Oz_: You can run it hold on.. I just installed it.. let me try again just to be sure [04:23] acee1234: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:23] cylex : that's weird. the dns servers i have in my ubuntu config is different than what ipconfig /all tells me on my dad's laptop. is it possible they changed? [04:23] pocketwatch, oh ok [04:23] <_Oz_> jacksparrow: it doesn't. but compiz doesn't play well with it. as you close windows, etc. the screen is garbled. [04:23] _Oz_: Yeo.. [04:24] <_Oz_> at least, that's what I've been told. [04:24] pocketwatch, does that still use the SSH or are you just direct connecting? [04:24] <_Oz_> what's the current vers. of virtualbox? [04:24] <_Oz_> maybe this article is a little out of date. === zman_ is now known as Zombino [04:24] thinman1189: this is what you put down for dns servers: nothing.. [04:24] Blue_Sassley, it's using ssh, you set up the connection with putty first [04:24] pocketwatch, ok I think I got it then [04:24] Jack_Sparrow: and the wiki [04:24] thinman1189: if u want to try.. try the default gateway as first dns server, and 127.0.0.1 as second one [04:24] Blue_Sassley, alright, best of luck [04:24] _Oz_, you could check the virtualbox web site and see what the latest debs they got are. [04:25] is anybody here familiar with OOo Basic? [04:25] Q: what program can i use to burn cds from command line (live cd) ? [04:25] no ideas? [04:25] Dr_willis: I've used it for a few months with no issues.. Thats Compiz + Twinview + Virtualbox [04:25] tockitj: dd? [04:25] what is the command to install all needed codecs for MPLAYER? [04:25] hey [04:25] <_Oz_> I use twinview too, badkitty [04:25] Zombino: Like the one that comes with Ubuntu? Or is it something else? [04:25] there's a problem i got [04:25] when i boot ubuntu [04:25] tockitj: dd I think [04:25] i get this screen : [04:25] http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/7717/dsc00090wa4.jpg [04:25] cylex why no dns? i had to have it before to work [04:26] Starnestommy: dd can be used to burn cds ?? [04:26] Jack_Sparrow: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable "-> "disable"? [04:26] to fix this problem [04:26] each time i boot windows then boot ubuntu again [04:26] tockitj: yes [04:26] and it works [04:26] thinman119: try it both ways [04:26] pocketdrummer, it's the scripting language for open office. I unistalled the ubuntu version and installed the regular version of OOo [04:26] <_Oz_> badkitty: did you install a hacked or clean copy of win xp for virtualbox? [04:26] but next time i reget the screen : [04:26] http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/7717/dsc00090wa4.jpg [04:26] acee1234: yes [04:26] _Oz_: A clean SP1 disc I bought a few years ago [04:26] Sanesto: I don't mean to harp on your man, but can you use periods instead of the enter key? It helps keep the clutter down. [04:26] yea sorry [04:26] pocketwatch, thanks [04:27] _Oz_: But I also rub other things like back track or other OS's for testing and playing around with [04:27] RJ_Squirrel: the restart x? [04:27] RJ_Squirrel: then [04:27] does anyone know what i need to watch internet vids off the page ? [04:27] acee1234: yes [04:27] <_Oz_> back track? [04:27] RJ_Squirrel: than you [04:27] _Oz_: I did try to install ubuntu server: Now that does not work in vbox afaik [04:27] acee1234: np [04:27] Zombino: I've used the windows version you download from the website. I'm not sure if it's the same though. [04:27] thank you too jack [04:27] anyone knows how to solve my problem ? :P :D [04:27] _Oz_: Backtrack is a pen testing OS based off of another linux distro [04:27] nobody has problems with x-input method? i can't input anything in x-based GUIs (and can't change the input method). any help appreciated [04:27] monte: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree (its free) [04:28] pocketdrummer, it's cool. I've got a coding question, and now that I think about it it has nothing to do with Ubuntu so I'm in the wrong place to ask this anyway :P [04:28] Zombino: #openoffice.org may be a more appropriate place for it [04:28] <_Oz_> I see [04:28] <_Oz_> thanks for the tip, badkitty... so you think I should just be able to do the standard virtualbox install and I'll be good to go? [04:28] Thank you Starnestommy, didn't know there was such a channel! [04:28] i got a problem with my ubuntu...i dual boot btw. when i boot my ubuntu i get this screen : http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/7717/dsc00090wa4.jpg to fix it i must boot windows then boot ubuntu again and it would work [04:28] <_Oz_> did you follow a specific online tutorial? [04:29] sanesto: What version of Ubuntu are you using and what kind of graphic card do you have? [04:29] hi all i managed to screw my gdm configuration.. and now it starts a single server and tells me to correct the error. [04:29] 7.10 [04:29] using 7.10 [04:29] geforce 7500 LE [04:29] hai2u all [04:29] cylex not working [04:29] _Oz_: Yes I do [04:29] I have an nVidia card too, and it freaks out unless I set it to vesa then install the restricted drivers. [04:29] ... [04:30] hi.. [04:30] i would appreciate if some one could shed the light.. [04:30] ... [04:30] on? [04:30] i am lost [04:30] so u think the problem is the vga driver ? [04:30] <_Oz_> I'm going to give it a shot, badkitty. [04:30] thinman1189: what ip you get when you type ifconfig -a [04:31] what codecs do i need to install for MPLAYER to play mpgs, divx, wmvs, etc.. just all basic formats?! [04:31] on getting my gdm screen back to norma. [04:31] sanesto: When you boot into Ubuntu, press Ctrl+Alt+F1. From there, type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:31] but the prob is that i can't see anything on the screen to type... [04:31] jijutm, what is your gdm screen doing? [04:31] thinman1189: when I had internet connection problem, every time I set the static ip, I had to reboot, in order for it to work, ubuntu networking is kinda messed up [04:31] <_Oz_> Although, it's got me thinking: I realize this is old hat to all of you linuxheads who long ago swore off windows, but as a guy who's recently jumped off the ship, I am going through new thought processes. what I'm wondering is: if I can't get away from the windows apps which chain me to M$, what's the point of ubuntu (other than having fun)? [04:31] cylex that gives me a lot of output which adress? [04:32] iKap: go to medibuntu.org install the packages it has there (mostly libdvdcss2 and w32codecs and the ffmpeg one [04:32] it shows me a warning only.. with no xservers are configured.. this may be a config error [04:32] i should login and fix it [04:32] cylex i've rebooted multiple times and no dice [04:32] sanesto: I can't either until I press ctrl+alt+F1. It takes you to the terminal. You have to make sure it is a capital X or it won't work. The terminal is case-sensitive. [04:32] ok right now i'm using Pidgin for a multi-protocol IM, only problem is when i have a chat window minimized, it doesn't flash when i receive a new message. i didn't see a setting for this. is there a way? or can you suggest a BETTER multiprotocol IM? [04:32] badkitty, i rememebr there being a command to do this thorugh the terminal that installed all needed codecs.. etc. [04:32] iKap: You can also do a sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:32] jijutm, so just a console? No X at all? [04:32] ys [04:32] badkitty, thats all? [04:32] ah ok. X is borked then. [04:33] Which is never fun. [04:33] hi [04:33] my X is broken as well, so im about to go restore. [04:33] i dont get you [04:33] What kind of graphics card do you get? [04:33] how to i extract and install this realvnc program [04:33] Well, I guess he'll be back, he quit before I explained the rest..... [04:33] ack, have [04:33] yeah ok thanks anyway [04:33] i did apt-get install xdm [04:33] cylex what are u talking about sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree were do i go to install it at? [04:33] today.. [04:33] iKap: That with the medibuntu codecs and your multimedia will be basically complete [04:33] and chose that as the default.. [04:34] I can login now.. [04:34] Don't think xdm would screw up X itself... [04:34] How many people here have an nVidia card and cannot use the default nv drivers that come with Ubuntu? [04:34] but the familiar themed ubuntu login is no more available [04:34] login on the console? [04:34] ys [04:34] What is a program I can use to download stuff on to a iPod... one that has the Apple OS on it still [04:34] um, you can always use the nv driver for 2d things [04:34] ah, so xdm is not even starting? [04:34] !ipod > Blue_Sassley [04:34] i even had the nv driver running an 8800GTX [04:34] jijutm: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [04:34] yea it was slow [04:35] but until i figured out how to use the restricted devices manager, its all i had [04:35] <_Oz_> can anyone recommend a recent virtualbox tutorial for me? [04:35] <_Oz_> or should I just follow the instructions from virtualbox? [04:35] Sorry guys ubutu has the answer [04:35] "figured out" [04:35] jack_sparrow: that killed my gnome display manager [04:35] jijutm, do try what Starnestommy mentioned [04:35] ok will try that.. [04:35] monte: you want to install the flash player right? [04:35] acee1234: It should not have.. IT is from the ati page... [04:35] yes [04:35] _Oz_: Do you need one? It's not too complicated.. the hardest part is figuring out what additional package needs to be installed after it gives you an error the first time you try to run it [04:36] thanks guys.. will check that and be back soon.. [04:36] monte: so that's one way or better way is this link I'll give you [04:36] jijutm, best of luck [04:36] acee1234: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide [04:36] <_Oz_> I'm the kind of guy that generally needs one, yes [04:36] Jack_Sparrow: but the video is fixed [04:36] thanks [04:36] cylex : not working [04:36] ill see if i can start display manager [04:36] Jack_Sparrow: have to find it... [04:36] how to i extract shit in console [04:36] <_Oz_> One other question: is virtualbox definitively "better" than vmware? [04:36] Anybody have a widescreen monitor and get the console NOT running off the screen? [04:36] <_Oz_> as in faster, more stable, etc. [04:37] supershort: what are you extracting? [04:37] "Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'. Without the GNOME settings manager running, some....." [04:37] realvnc [04:37] _Oz_: LOL, well ... It's a matter of opinion, but I found virtualbox much easier to get working with linux [04:37] thinman1189: dunno.. keep trying that tutorial.. or something [04:37] acee1234: Glad you got video working... gotta go.. [04:37] cylex where in the forums should i try posting? [04:37] monte: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=Linux [04:37] cylex: wats the link [04:37] virtualbox doesnt support AMD-V or Intel VT extensions for virtualization [04:37] thanks [04:37] Vmware does. === Palintheus is now known as to [04:37] That's why I choose VMware over anything else. === to is now known as Palintheus [04:37] monte: download the tar.gz Its a binary .. easy install [04:37] <_Oz_> Thanks, badkitty. [04:38] cptnapalm: Mine doesn't run off. That's just default too. You may have to change settings (I dont' know which). [04:38] well? [04:38] cylex ugh i just restarted and it did a forced check, 37 times without apparently. [04:38] thank you jack [04:38] <_Oz_> jokie: I have an AMD 64 chip, does that matter? [04:38] how to i extract [04:38] supershort: tar -xzf filename.tar.gz [04:38] wait, whoops [04:38] oxez: X2 or better? [04:38] err [04:38] then i extract or wat do i do [04:38] _Oz_: [04:38] supershort: tar -zxpvf filename.tar.gz [04:38] _Oz_: PM me if you want help with it.. I actually have to finish installing the other package and set it up for first OS.. I'll go over it with you if you want [04:38] * Starnestommy needs glasses, I think [04:39] monte: then just run the binary [04:39] pocketdrummer: Mine unfortunately does run off.. and the fonts are big and ugly. I've tried some suggested work arounds, but nothing has helped yet... Which sucks as sometimes I really just want an ocean of text [04:39] monte: do it from the terminal please [04:39] cylex, p is more for creating archives isn't it? [04:39] X2 (65nm variants) and Phenoms have AMD Secure Virtual. [04:39] <_Oz_> thanks, badkitty [04:39] anyone have any ideas why changing th xorg file composite entry from enabled to disable will kill gnome display manager and compiz? [04:39] bruenig: no [04:39] How can I install some new fonts? I've got the ability to use ttfs, but I've forgotten the process for installing new fonts/refreshing the system's font cache. [04:39] how do i do that [04:39] bruenig: to create it.. tar -cvf filename.tar.gz [04:39] Compiz would need the composite entry wouldn't it? [04:39] i am new at this [04:39] cptnapalm: What's your monitor's native resolution? Mine is 1680x1050. [04:40] cylex, no but I mean p means to preserve the permission whilst creating an archive I thought [04:40] pocketdrummer: mine's the same :( [04:40] bruenig: I think its without permission but not sure [04:40] cptnapalm: That can't be it then... what about your video card? [04:40] monte: read the documentation on www.ubuntu.com [04:41] pocketdrummer: It's an nVidia 8500 GT. Works wonderfully in X without any problems. [04:41] so ive found something that annoys me, which is that if im playing music of some sort, and my computer comes under a heavy processing load, the music will skip, is there a way to prevent this? [04:41] Ashnal, no [04:41] okay so i go to the website and do wat [04:42] Ashnal: yes. upgrade your CPU to a dual core/quad core. something capable of multithreading. [04:42] Ashnal: only if you up the nice level of the other stuff you are doing, I think. [04:42] monte: read the Documentation [04:42] Hmm. I never have those issues. with my Audigy2zs card. [04:42] dual core CPU's are dirt cheap. [04:42] monte: cant teach you everything over the irc [04:42] Theres no reason not to have at least 2 cores. [04:42] acee1234: Run fglrxinfo and make sure it says ati and NOT mesa.... [04:42] Just got a Quad Core PC (Acer) for $550 a few weeks ago. [04:42] except an older computer with a motherboard that doesnt support a dual core [04:42] o then the internet link [04:42] Ashnal: Don't even. :P [04:43] it wont work [04:43] AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+: $65, MSI K9N AM2+ Board: $89, 1GB (2x512) DDR2-667: $38 [04:43] cptnapalm: You may want to try the forums. I honestly don't have enough experience with linux to be able to accurately identify the issue. [04:43] so theres no way to give sound output priority over other things always? [04:43] like I said, cheap. [04:44] acee1234: Run fglrxinfo and make sure it says ati and NOT mesa.... sorry if this is a repeat.. [04:44] ben@ben-laptop:~$ tar -zxpvf vnc-4_1_2-x86_linux.tar.gz [04:44] tar: vnc-4_1_2-x86_linux.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory [04:44] Ashnal: actually try running the music player from the command line preceeded by nice 0 or so. "man nice" for how to use nice [04:44] cptnapalm: Maybe the problem lies in xorg.conf? Does anyone else have any knowledge of this? [04:44] Ashnal: how about nice values? [04:45] poningru: Can I PM you? [04:45] ok thanks [04:46] hey pocketdrummer [04:46] i have got it so that should let me watch vids and everything right with just that download correct? [04:46] Hello, can someone explain (or make an educated guess) why after installing KDE on my ubuntu (gutsy) system, the "places" menu in gnome doesn't work any more (fails to open a window)? [04:46] pocketdrummer: I think it has to do with how the console is set up from the get go. I remember way back when I compiled my own kernels I always included the framebuffer driver in the kernel. The default kernels now only build them as a module and don't know when that module loads. [04:46] bob_ hi :D [04:46] russ: much easier to just start from Kubuntu [04:46] u need help with nvidia? [04:46] installing KDE on vanilla ubuntu tends to break a LOT of things. [04:46] pocket send me PM if u need help with nvidia [04:46] Anyone remember what command to use when accessing mysql for the first time? [04:46] when i disabled composite in the xorg file to get rid of video flickering it killed my compiz any ideas? [04:47] Hmm.. I install kubuntu-desktop on my Ubuntu machines all the time. No hassles. [04:47] jokie51 great, wish I knew that before doing it [04:47] acee1234: compiz needs compisiting [04:47] *compositing [04:47] acee1234: wouldn't compiz require compositing? [04:47] How can I install some new fonts? I've got the ability to use ttfs, but I've forgotten the process for installing new fonts/refreshing the system's font cache. [04:47] badkitty: mysqladmin -u root password 'new password here' [04:47] cptnapalm: then is there a diferent way to get rid of my video/screen flickering? [04:48] jokie51 great, any suggestions for how to make it work again? Are the kde and gnome desktops incompatible? [04:48] jokie51: ahh admin.... [04:48] acee1234: What did fglrxinfo say [04:48] someone said something about apic noapic [04:48] acee1234: Not sure... using nVidia? [04:48] put them in the /etc/fonts dir [04:48] russ: yes. :) remove KDE. [04:48] /etc/fonts is for font config stuff... [04:49] Jack_Sparrow: OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 [04:49] <_Oz_> acee: that's CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow. [04:49] It's a total PITA getting KDE to operate properly with Gnome on the same machine, unless you want to toil and burn for 1500 hours reinstalling applications by the dozen with support for both. [04:49] acee1234: good.. you should read that page I linked..it will get you going [04:49] ARGGG... [04:49] jokie51 really? [04:49] might you resend that link Captain? [04:49] acee1234: I seem to remember something about vblank having something to do with that... which sounded just like vsync [04:49] onyx: there's also windows fonts in Add/Remove if you wanted those. [04:50] russ: yes. generally when one is a KDE user he/she doesn't use Gnome, and vice versa. :P [04:50] Kubuntu is much easier to start with [04:50] its the same OS, just built around KDE [04:50] pocketdrummer: Nah, I've got the windows fonts installed; just looking for how to install custom fonts and the like. [04:50] <_Oz_> what's the diff essentially, between KDE and gnome? [04:50] _Oz_: Well, for one, Gnome is for retarded people. :) [04:50] _Oz_: Different desktops and basic app selection [04:51] Or at least that is what Mr. Torvalds says. [04:51] jokie51: Please dont do that [04:51] jokie51: you're hurting my heart man :_( [04:51] Gnome is oversimplified. [04:51] Odd thing is when Gnome and KDE started out, they looked almost exactly the same... Now they look rather different since Gnome changed the default to a Windows/Mac hybrid interface [04:51] It's insulting to Linux users. [04:51] jokie51: so is trolling [04:51] i went 2 an apple store 2day and asked if i could buy the OS and install it on a pentium box and it took like 4-5 ppl asking eachother if it could b done [04:52] then the answer came from the back of the store: [04:52] does ubuntu still suck? [04:52] jokie51: Odd seeing as Gnome and all its stuff was developed by Linux users whereas KDE started with a proprietary toolkit [04:52] can i run photoshop on it yet [04:52] "the official answer is no, but...." [04:52] yes u can [04:52] Jack sparrow wich link was that the gutsy install guide? === Veinor is now known as Veinor|ZzZ [04:52] ipodtouch: with wine, I think [04:52] use wine for photosohp [04:52] can i run games, photoshop and shit [04:52] ipodtouch: with Vbox you can [04:52] no [04:52] jokie51: It depends what your target audience is. Gnome and KDE are both user friendly. So, naturally, more people will be inclined to switch from windows if it isn't a pain to learn. [04:52] i mean [04:52] does adobe support ubuntu [04:52] i dont have time to waste [04:52] ipodtouch: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:52] i use photoshop professionaly [04:52] ipodtouch, try reading and doing some research ane less trolling. [04:53] ipodtouch: You obviously have time to waste. You are on IRC. [04:53] beat me to it [04:53] garbage [04:53] jokie51, if I go back into synaptic package manager and remove kde-desktop, is it likely to make everything in my gnome system work again? === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 [04:53] ipodtouch: a friend of mine does too, he installed Vbox and CS3 [04:53] has anyone fixed the slow boot with gutsy? [04:53] ipodtouch: he installed ubuntu this morning [04:53] ipodtouch: You can get Gimp, which is kind of the same as photoshop. Adobe Flash works (unless the repository tanks) [04:53] russ: most likely not, but you can try :) [04:54] i like gutsy but it took 5 min to boot up [04:54] hello! anyone managed to get their wireless working on an ibook g4 with 6.06? i tried both the drivers from linuxwireless & fwcutter... but no luck [04:54] zelrikriando: Hey [04:54] if unbuntu is so good [04:54] why is there 1145 people here [04:54] bob__: what speed is the machine? [04:54] asking for help [04:54] when it's surpose to be easy [04:54] ipodtouch: Stop trolling [04:54] p4 512MB [04:54] jokie51 all my desktop icons also disappeared, and to top it off, my keyboard doesn't work in kde - so the kde installation managed to break both [04:54] LOL [04:54] ipodtouch, you are proving you know very little.. [04:54] ipodtouch: spelling is supposed to be easy too. [04:54] ipodtouch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAD0ebyFFYY look at this and go away [04:54] ipodtouch: There are magazines, websites and best selling books on Windows problems... [04:54] so i should whitelist my gpu to fix compiz if i read that right [04:55] * Dr_willis is waiting for service pack 1 for Ubuntu to get released. [04:55] Anyone know how to get a Broadcom to connect to a WEP wireless netwrok? [04:55] russ: I'd say you're up sh*t creek without a paddle. :) [04:55] i had to laugh at all the koolaid drinkers in the apple store 2dday!!! [04:55] everyone: he's gone. *phew* [04:55] Dr_willis: lol [04:55] What is the best opensource software to design websites out of templates? [04:55] perl [04:55] Seraph-> can you even get it working without the encryption first? [04:55] bob__: hmm... Even my slow laptop boots Solaris faster than that... And Solaris does not boot quickly [04:55] i've installed ubuntu on my external hard drive....i set my BIOS to boot the usb device 1st, but it won't boot, can any 1 help? [04:55] php perl [04:56] i'm having trouble installing gutsy x64. i was able to install i386 using the live cd, but with x64 both live and alternative cause my PC to reboot when mapping something or other [04:56] amenado: Yes, It now picks up networks, as opposed to having a blank sheet. [04:56] Flashq009: maybe drupal? [04:56] jokie51, I guess that's one of the dangers of community-supported software, somebody from the community told me it was going to work fine [04:56] it boots fine with dapper and edgy [04:56] It just won't connect to anything distant or encrypted. [04:56] napash7: did you install Grub/Lilo to the external hard disk/s MBR? [04:56] Flashq009: I like Joomla [04:56] jokie51: Yes [04:56] I am sure ipodtouch is running Vista :D [04:56] jokie51 although he suggested installing kde-core [04:56] uhohzombies: try adding noapic to the boot options in the livecd [04:56] russ: well they lied. i tried installing KDE applications and they all pulled in KDE as a dependency and then everything went tits up. [04:56] zelrikriando: Of course he is, it 1Z da R0X0rZ [04:56] thanks, will try that right now [04:56] is there anyway to get a lexmark x5470 to work on ubuntu [04:57] Seraph-> can you elaborate on what you meant by picks up? you meant detects it or associates to an access point? [04:57] zelrikriando: I beta tested Vista. I knew ahead of time that I should look for alternatives, lol. [04:57] jokie51: do u mind if PM you? [04:57] lol pocketdrummer [04:57] *if i PM you [04:57] jokie so do you have an idea why my keyboard is unresponsive in kde? [04:57] I don't care if anyone pm's me, to be honest. [04:57] Seraph-> just like your AM radio, you may not be able to pickup stations from alaska, assuming you are not in alaska [04:57] theres no obligation to answer PM's on the internet so why does everyone get so upset? :P [04:58] bob__: only thing that might help you narrow down the problem that I can think of would be to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst so as not to do the splash and instead display the console output [04:58] ok thanks, researching joomla and drupal [04:58] amenado: Whereas previously the wireless networks tab was completely blank, it now shows all WiFi areas around. So yes, I'd say it detects it. Not sure about the access point. [04:58] jokie its is called net etiguette [04:58] srupal is nice [04:58] *drupal [04:58] zelrikriando: Nothing worked, it was slow, and coming out of standby was an interesting technicolor adventure. Thank god for Ubuntu. :D [04:58] Ok Yah I am having trouble connecting to mysql Keep getting access denied.. mysql -u root doesn't work and neither does trying to change the pw using mysqladmin -root .. any ideas? === gouki_ is now known as gouki [04:58] jokie51: i have grub installed but ubuntu still won't boot from the external usb drive [04:58] cpt: i dabbled with that and i still had no luck. it had something to do with compiz. I didnt have the same prob with compiz on fedora 7 [04:59] Seraph-> detecting is a first step towards association to an access point [04:59] amenado: You'll have to elaborate a bit for me, I'm afraid. [04:59] okay now i have my other problems fixed what plugins do i need to play a dvd on the computer? [04:59] im getting pissed off :P anyone got a pair of those stress reliever balls that you twirl in one hand? [04:59] badkitty: have you tried the computer root password? the password of the first user...? [05:00] I know we're in the Ubuntu Channel, but what would everyone say is better or at least a close second to Ubuntu? [05:00] Hello [05:00] jokie51: is there any way to fix this problem b/c i still can't boot from usb even with the BIOS having the USB device set to boot 1st [05:00] monte: libdvdcss/libdvdnav/libdvdread [05:00] pocketdrummer: Here's a funny XP story. About 2 years ago I got a laptop with XP on it. Eventually wiped out the windows partition in favor of Ubuntu. One day, decide that I would like a small XP partition for some games. I pop in the disc and install XP... which couldn't find a driver for my wireless card or audio... I laughed. [05:00] Just wanted to say, whoever invented the "negative window" is a freakin' genius. [05:00] pocketdrummer: plain ol' Debian [05:00] does wine use its own font server? [05:00] It's so useful for reading ebooks or any text. [05:00] in the synaptic [05:00] danbhfive: I just figured it out.. it needed a -p for some reaosns [05:00] Seraph-> your radio has to detect the signal 1st before it can select to associate to that transmitter [05:00] So easy on the eyes. [05:00] Onyx: yes. fontforge [05:00] i put it in the search [05:00] Try it out if you have compiz [05:01] superkey + n (superkey is the windows key) [05:01] amenado: And, if it's on roaming, how do I check if it is able to associate with it? [05:01] badkitty: ah yes, -p means to enter a password [05:01] it being the signal. :P [05:01] jokie51: How can I install fonts using fontforge? [05:01] bob__: Do you know if it hangs on something in particular? [05:01] hey everyone. i'm having some trouble with my internet. i switched from wireless to wired to flash my firmware. i didn't actually flash it, that's not the issue. anyway i went to go reconnect to my wireless and i can't for some reason. what's the command to reboot my net? i tried rebooting my computer but it won't work. i have a Belkin F5D7000 using ndis wrapper. [05:01] papuccino1, ok you've got my curiosity.. how to I make a window "negative" [05:02] jokie51: do i search that in the add/remove programs [05:02] fontforge is the rendering engine for wine [05:02] Just press superkey + n Scunizi [05:02] thats all [05:02] monte: what? [05:02] let me ask, now everytime I try to change the desktop visual effects from 'none' to any other level, the frames of all windows change, the closing and minimizing buttons shift to the top left... how can I preserve the compiz stuff but revert that? a print of my screen ->http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/1438/screenshotik8.png [05:02] You have to activate it in the compiz gnome manager. [05:02] cptnapalm: That's pretty funny. It's amazing how fast you can get Ubuntu working on a new system (as long as you don't hit any weird roadblock along the way.) [05:02] danbhfive: How come NONE of a tutorials say that?? arg [05:02] does anyone know how to install the mp3/ogg vorbis libraries for sox? [05:02] for the dvd to play? [05:02] pocketdrummer: I showed my video of ubuntu this morning to my friend...this afternoon he had ubuntu installed+ Vbox(+XP) [05:02] papuccino1, do you have to have all the bells and whistles turned on? [05:02] Scunizi: System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Settings [05:02] Seraph-> associate meant it has established a handshake and connected whereby the ap gives you and ip address and communicate with the ap [05:02] danbhfive: I suppose it might say that in the manual... but the tutorials SHOULD have that too ... wheres my pacifier? [05:03] pocketdrummer: Its something I like to throw at Windows fanatics when they babble about hardware support. [05:03] Scunizi, no, I only have the ones I like for instance, while holding the windows key and mousewheel up I zoom in dynamically. WHICH IS SUPER USEFUL. [05:03] Seraph-> perhaps a tutorial on what is a wireless connection is in order for you.. [05:03] badkitty: I only use mysql for drupal, and it was in the directions I followed, maybe you need some ubuntu specific tutorials [05:03] ok theres no freakin way in h*ll i cankeep up with all the questions [05:03] papuccino1, yes I use that too.. can I make any window negative? It's not working in xchat [05:03] if people have something to ask me please pm it to me [05:03] so much to answer, so little time :P [05:03] im only 1 person. [05:04] danbhfive: Thats where I found them.. on UBUNTU sites! anyhow, you like drupal better than Joomla? [05:04] Maybe you don't have it activated. [05:04] infinito_: enabling compiz Macifies your windows? Did you install compiz separately or is it the one that comes with Ubuntu? [05:04] Scunizi, search for it in the Gnome Compiz Manager. [05:04] papuccino1, never mind I found it.. in ccsm.. nice! [05:04] pocketdrummer: Its always sad when someone is new and no one can help because the hardware maker is a jackass about support... I mean here is someone trying something new and through no fault of their own, can't get it running [05:04] has anyone played vdrift? === Whitesmith is now known as FBIGuy [05:04] Scunizi, how about it huh? Incredible, so much easier on the eyes. -cries- [05:04] papuccino1, reminds me of irssi [05:05] hello all [05:05] Ok, see ya gotta go [05:05] badkitty: yeah, im stuck on drupal too. I made a custom module for it. But, I found drupal simpler in its layout. I remember a contest between a bunch of them, and drupal and joomla tied [05:05] is anyone knowledgeable about opengl? [05:05] cptnapalm: Actually, I'm in the middle of that exact issue right now. I have a Creative X-Fi that just WON'T work properly. [05:05] ninjabob7: John Carmack of iD software? ;) [05:05] ninjabob7, ask a definitive question .. get a devinitive answer :) [05:05] anyone in here, that is? [05:06] danbhfive: Oh.. I just found more support for joomla, and easier to get it started .. could be different now? Who knows...Joomla is great though.. The just had a new relase too [05:06] because I'm not sure if this issue is a bug in the game or something fixable [05:06] pocketdrummer: Which is odd.. as Creative are the same people that came up with OpenAL so as NOT to have to deal with multitudes of different audio architecture [05:06] <_Oz_> I can't get VM to start [05:06] badkitty, do you know of any online tutorials for changing the theme in joomla? or creating your own? [05:06] hello all [05:07] i switched from wireless to wired to flash my firmware. i didn't actually flash it, that's not the issue. anyway i went to go reconnect to my wireless and i can't for some reason. i tried rebooting my computer but it won't work. i have a Belkin F5D7000 using ndis wrapper. [05:07] ninjabob7: Not sure this would be the best place for something that specific... I'm still coping with void pointers... [05:07] http://weejewel.net/wubuntu/boot.htm [05:08] Scunizi: To change the theme, you download new ones and install them into the directory .. To make your own, the best way is to be a CSS and PHP god.. if not, they have some software you can use to give the basic syntax for what is required, then you can fill in the rest using html or some WYSIWYG tool [05:08] <_Oz_> you around, badkitty? [05:08] Yah [05:08] In vlc I don't get any sound when playing avi files, I have install all of the plugins for vlc, but still nothing, can anyone help? [05:08] cptnapalm: Up until earlier this month, they didn't even have a working driver (which sorta works with OSS... sorta). It's a little depressing considering the Audigy 2 ZS I got rid of worked perfectly. [05:08] thinman1189: what does ifconfig -a give you in the console? [05:08] Thug-life: Please do not post a link without a description of the problem [05:08] pocketdrummer, it's the one that comes with ubuntu, yes it does.. and well, I installed emerald too although the themes are not working.. The windows changing thing happened when I clicked on "GL Desktop", immediately some conflict wtih compiz came up, compiz was disabled. I enabled it again, but the windows thing remained :( [05:08] <_Oz_> badkitty: getting errors when I try to start a vm [05:08] _Oz_: OK PM me ok? [05:08] Q: What package should i install for this (checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!), thanks [05:08] <_Oz_> badkitty: I did [05:08] pocketdrummer: Damn that does suck... [05:08] <_Oz_> ... you didn't reply [05:09] K_dallas: libqt-dev [05:09] * jokie51 goes to talk to the wife [05:09] Starnestommy, let me try that, thanks [05:09] x64 gutsy is still rebooting after "kernal alive, kernal direct mapping tables" despite adding noapic to the boot options [05:09] cptnapalm: for eth0? [05:09] Hello, I recently installed an SB Audigy 2 ZS soundcard but now the only sound I get is in xmms, which does sound really good and the surround even works, anyone know why it only works in xmms? [05:09] Infinito_: You know, last time I tried to go beyond the default Compiz settings provided in Ubuntu, I bricked the OS. Scary stuff for me. [05:10] BRB folks!! [05:10] <_Oz_> wow [05:10] <_Oz_> my machine is now massively messed up [05:10] my last name is upandowninthewater [05:10] <_Oz_> something vm did made ubuntu very unhappy [05:10] just a quick question 7.10 will not let me connect to the net shows the icon but no light on the router as it is not conecting.also this is my first instalation of ubuntu should i load 7.04 as I read there are very few problems with this version as far as conection issuses [05:10] libdvdcss libdvdnav libdvdrea were do i go to get them ? [05:10] _Oz_, which vm manager are you using? [05:11] pocketdrummer, yeah now I wish I haven't messed around with that :/ [05:11] erich, try the bmpx [ player. - Its possible xmms is dupliocating the front speakers to the rear giving surround sound. [05:11] Ok, turns out I had a bad cable, and somehow the MBR got hosed. I've got that all fixed, and can boot again to my feisty install. However, I can't log in. Getting the "last sesion only lasted 10 seconds" bit. CtrlAtlF1 takes me to a terminal where I CAN log in, but the text is so big it's useless. Tried restarting gdm, to no avail [05:11] <_Oz_> virtualbox, scunizi [05:11] IceGuest_75-> what icon are you referring to? [05:11] monte: have you tried apt-get? [05:11] Starnestommy, i dont seem to have that library. I have a few different ones with qt3 and qt4 which are already installed [05:11] pocketdrummer: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [05:11] Maybe, but no sound works in any other programs at all [05:11] _Oz_, sorry I don't know that one.. I'm using vmware server.. pretty easy. [05:11] Igot an audigy 2Zs Sound works good for me in all my apps. [05:11] Surround is not the issue [05:11] <_Oz_> yeah [05:11] wat is apt-get? [05:11] <_Oz_> I'm starting to think vmware is looking pretty good [05:11] craigbass1976-> try ctrl +alt+ - and see if it recyles through font sizes [05:11] pocketdrummer: That is for the next time you make a change that causes issues [05:11] monte:it's the way to install things in debian-based distros (look it up in wikipedia) [05:11] monte, time to really read some of the ubuntu starter guides. :) [05:12] !apt-get | monte [05:12] monte: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [05:12] Jack_Sparrow: O.O Does that actually work?! If so, you are my hero. [05:12] YEs it works [05:12] monte: search for them in the repositories. There will be a file which installs with libdvdread (I think) that you run and that will install libdvdcss2 [05:12] monte, apt-get is what you use at the command line to install packages. [05:12] Jack_Sparrow: You are my hero! [05:12] amenado, no love there [05:12] pocketdrummer: You do lose your icons on the taskbar but everything else is factory fresh [05:12] <_Oz_> ugh [05:12] <_Oz_> ubuntu no longer boots [05:12] can someone tell me how to get libmp3lame? [05:12] o see i kno wat synaptic is lol.... [05:13] _Oz_, with server you can install any os from cd or iso. with player you're limited to preconfigured vm's [05:13] monte: (example command "sudo apt-get install libdvdcss") [05:13] any idea why gutsy x64 will not install? i386 works fine as long as i choose safe graphics mode, but x64 reboots upon kernal direct mapping tables [05:13] <_Oz_> wow, that was a spectacular failure. everyone: recommending you DO NOT install virtualbox [05:13] craigbass1976-> try to remove splash from your grub [05:13] Jangari: sudo apttitude install libmp3lame [05:13] I think. [05:13] Eh? [05:13] I've also noticed that the date is march 2005 [05:13] monte: Just look for them in synaptic. Should be there [05:13] hey can anyone help me with some server quesions? [05:13] _Oz_-> ahem, not everyone, i like virtual box [05:13] I'm new with command line [05:13] yet the motherboard knows the right date... not sure if this is important [05:13] i tryed and there not [05:13] I just need to update my web page file but I don't know how to [05:13] <_Oz_> amenado: it just hosed my entire ubuntu install [05:14] Holmes89, perhaps. WHat's the issue [05:14] <_Oz_> good lord [05:14] Infinito_: Did you see the post to pocketdrummer? [05:14] <_Oz_> dunno how, but it did [05:14] only one in there close to it is libdv4 [05:14] _Oz_-> what were you doing? [05:14] Holmes89, you can vi it [05:14] better yet, is there any worthwhile reason to use x64, despite having a 64 bit processor [05:14] Holmes89, web page file? you mean index.htm [05:14] grr, i must not have the right repos set up for the lame encoder [05:14] vi? [05:14] <_Oz_> amenado: just following the install instructions is all. [05:14] Holmes89: actually, vim. it's a text editor [05:14] I don't think libmp3lame is in the repos... [05:14] <_Oz_> now ubuntu literally won't boot. insane [05:14] Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "libmp3lame" [05:14] yeah I want to copy my assets folder and all of my web pages I've made [05:15] Infinito_: In case you didn't see what Jack_Sparrow said, check this out, it's golden... http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [05:15] to the /var/www/ folder [05:15] _Oz_-> you were just installing and has it ever completed or you are still stuck on the install? [05:15] Holmes89, vi can be complicated for the first time user.. you could also use gedit.. [05:15] Starnestommy: I'm not sure vi is the best bet for someone who can't yet do basic shell stuff... [05:15] <_Oz_> it appeared to install ok [05:15] Holmes89, heh... command line text editor. Pretty much you type vi filename, hit i once you're in, do the edits, and hit Esc, then :wq to write and quit. If you screw up or get nervous, hit :q! instead to quit without writing [05:15] cptnapalm: maybe emacs or nano [05:15] how will I use gedit to do this though? [05:15] <_Oz_> it kept giving me an error msg when starting a vm [05:15] <_Oz_> so I rebooted [05:15] <_Oz_> and that's when all hell broke loose [05:15] hm I'll look that up thx jack-desktop pocketdrummer [05:15] vim is nicer [05:15] Holmes89, is the web server in front of you, or remote? [05:15] what Infinito_ ? [05:16] in front [05:16] pocketdrummer: THere is your test case but I have had two people here today alone that had this work for them, plus I tried it on my own system first for a test.. Yes it works [05:16] Starnestommy: If he's in X, then I'd recommend just using gedit... for the moment, to him... [05:16] <_Oz_> is vmware a little more robust and less prone to this kind of thing? [05:16] Holmes89, do you have a copy of index.html seperate from where it is on the server? [05:16] jack-desktop, wrong guy sorry [05:16] <_Oz_> even if it's slower, I think I'd want something more stable even at a performance hit. [05:16] I don't have an interface [05:16] thx Jack_Sparrow [05:16] I have it on a thumb drive [05:16] np [05:16] when I try to use perl style regular expressions with grep ( grep --perl-regexp ) I get the error : "grep: The -P option is not supported" but it's in the man page as an option, is there something that I need to do to add support for this? [05:16] Holmes89, interface? you want to edit it live? [05:16] can i dual boot windows 2000 (dell edition) with my already installed Ubuntu 7.10? [05:16] Oh, well you can just sudo chown -R holmes:holmes /var/www/ and you'll be able to use gedit and edit the files [05:16] thiemster: yes [05:16] thiemster, yes [05:17] <_Oz_> vboxdrv is apparently screwing up the boot [05:17] chubs730: how? [05:17] Infinito_: One line in cli and restart x, come right back and let us know when you are done [05:17] ok should i install 7.04 to take care of my internet connection or try to fix 7.10? anyone [05:17] I'm sorry I mean I am using just command line, I haven't installed a gui for the server [05:17] <_Oz_> linux won't boot except in low graphics mode [05:17] chubs730: I tried it once and the windows 2000 installation failed [05:17] Jack_Sparrow: I've lost count of how many times I've reformatted to fix things. This is probably the best bit of information I've received in a looooong time. [05:17] <_Oz_> arrrrgh why'd I do this why why why [05:17] Holmes89, then vi or nano.. nano is simpler [05:17] Holmes89, then you'd either have to set up a nfs share so you could get at it from another box, or learn vi [05:17] thiemster: you'll have to partition beforehand in linux, using gparted [05:17] thiemster, Be careful though, sometimes the OEM restore CD's reformat the entire drive [05:17] chubs730: you mean with the gparted livecd? [05:18] thiemster: you'll most likely have to use the livecd yes [05:18] _Oz_-> not all can afford an high rez capable graphics card..twas designed to work with older machines [05:18] chubs730: after i partition, do i just install windows 2000 the normal way? [05:18] pocketdrummer: It is not for everything.. mostly things like messing up a theme or other settings in gnome [05:18] I have ubuntu desktop installed as a separate partition on the computer I'm using as a server is there a way I can mount the drive to change the file? [05:18] thiemster: shrink your linux partition and format it to ntfs, and windows 2000 should recognize it and install [05:18] <_Oz_> amenado: tell that to the guys who built compiz-fusion [05:18] <_Oz_> :) [05:18] my gutsy x64 install is rebooting my pc when 'kernel mapping tables', i can't get it to install. any ideas? is x64 even worth using over i386 for home desktop purposes? [05:18] hmm [05:18] chubs730: is there anyway to do it without deleting all my linux stuff? [05:18] thiemster: and then you'll have to use the ubuntu livecd to rebuild grub, but that's fairly easy [05:18] how can i cancel all software installations [05:19] everyone can afford a "high rez graphics card" [05:19] heres an example. [05:19] !mount > Holmes [05:19] Jack_Sparrow: That's ok, it just gives me another option before throwing in the towel. [05:19] _Oz_-> compiz has a minimum, ubuntu install has much much less requirements [05:19] Holmes89, yes, nfs share is like windows sharing for linux. [05:19] !mount > Holmes89 [05:19] _Oz_: Chill... look for a backup of your old xorg [05:19] pocketdrummer, You almost never *need* to do a full reinstall to fix a problem [05:19] thiemster: yes, gparted will automatically do that for you, it shows you what you've used and you can just drag the space smaller [05:19] NVIDIA Geforce FX5900: $59 [05:19] lol [05:19] thiemster: unless you've used up almost all your disk space [05:19] <_Oz_> how, jack spar-- er, CAPTAIN jack sparrow? [05:19] capable of driving two 1920x1200 LCD's [05:19] nfs share? how does that work? [05:19] chubs730: nope, i haven't used up the space. i still have about 50 gigabytes left [05:19] Jordan_U: Hi, did you have a help page for the bcm943xx cards? [05:20] How can I stop mplayerplug.in from opening in its own window? === [gquit]bombadil is now known as bombadil [05:20] chubs730: and that's more than enough for windows 2000. it's a pretty small installation [05:20] !broadcom | Jack_Sparrow [05:20] Jack_Sparrow: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [05:20] chubs730: thanks for your advice, i'll try it again one of these days [05:20] Jordan_U: Not the same card [05:20] thiemster: yeah that'll be fine then, just boot into gparted, shrink your ext2 or ext3 or whatever you're using for ubuntu, and then format the blank space as ntfs [05:20] Jack_Sparrow, Sorry, misread [05:20] _Oz_: Are you in gui.. low res? [05:20] thiemster: no problem [05:20] Scunizi, hey, I've never tried nano before. Thanks for the tip [05:20] Jordan_U: Well, sometimes something happens where programs stop working. Like deskbar died and wouldn't come back, Ardour would close itself after opening. Things like that. Reinstalling and even completely removing and reinstalling didn't work. Do you guys know how to fix things like that? [05:20] Holmes89, why did you create a seperate partion for the server install. you could have included that with the normal Ubuntu install or done it in a virtual machine.. [05:20] Jack_Sparrow, I don't now but let me look a second [05:21] craigbass1976, np.. it's saved me several times. [05:21] Jordan_U: dont bother [05:21] Jordan_U: I mistook you for someone else.. [05:21] it says this 'setting up vnccommon' and it does nothing but stop me from installing other shit [05:21] because I'm only testing out the software, getting used to it so when I'm finally able to make a server I'll know what to do [05:21] Scunizi, I've just been using vi the whole time. Nano's neat though. === IceGuest_75 is now known as spud213 [05:21] craigbass1976-> if you ever get stuck with editing a text file, ed is always available [05:21] _Oz_: Fire up thunar or nautilus and look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.dateofbackup [05:22] craigbass1976, I tried vi once but I didn't have a referance handy for how to save and exit.. really frustrating. [05:22] jeez who started the editor debate [05:22] I neeeeed hlep [05:22] help === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [05:22] anyone ever tried to install the lingua translate module? [05:22] !ask | supershort [05:22] supershort: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [05:22] so that i can install this xchat-babelfish script? [05:22] <_Oz_> then what, jack? [05:22] You know, there is one thing that I still have a problem fixing that you guys might know more about. Whenever I edit xorg.conf hit F7, my video goes into Low-Quality mode or Low-res mode or something like that. Do you know what could be wrong? [05:22] i asked the question [05:22] _Oz_: Ok Im back [05:22] it says this 'setting up vnccommon' and it does nothing but stop me from installing other shit [05:22] what do I do with nfs ? [05:22] <_Oz_> badkitty: virtualbox VERY BAD [05:23] pocketdrummer, restart x with ctrl+alt+backspace.. might fix it. [05:23] _Oz_: Copy it over the existing xorg.conf after saving the current one of course [05:23] _Oz_: How is that? [05:23] <_Oz_> it hosed me [05:23] !lanugage | supershort [05:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about lanugage - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:23] <_Oz_> ubuntu wouldn't boot for a time [05:23] supershort: Letrs keep it family friendly.. thanks [05:23] _Oz_: wouldn't boot because of vbox? Thats ridiculous.. what did you do? [05:23] how can i fix the problem tho [05:23] Scunizi: I've actually tried rebooting altogether, but it doesn't work. I have to restore xorg.conf from xorg.conf_backup. [05:23] supershort: you may have to manually uninstall vnccommon, unless you really need it [05:23] how i do that [05:24] Scunizi, yeah, especially if you were in vi and not vim. Vi kind of blows [05:24] pocketdrummer, do what are you editing that's making the difference? [05:24] Is there a way I can reconfigure the installed codecs? I installed a new soundcard and now I only have sound in xmms [05:24] supershort: dpkg should do it [05:24] help on 7.10 internet connection [05:24] can someone tell me why my max display resolution is 1400x 1050 should be 1680x 1050 [05:25] Hm... there's three choices for the IDLE python enviroment. Which should I choose? [05:25] acee1234: Common problem is wrong v/h refresh rates in the xorg [05:25] papuccino1: what do you mean? [05:25] scunizi, the mouse configuration, surprisingly. I have a G7 Mouse and I'm trying to get all the buttons to work. Right now, I'm using btnx (which halfway works). [05:25] acee1234: What kind of card is it? [05:25] There's : 2.4 and 2.5 (both maintaned the Ubuntu community) and then there's 2.5 maintained by Canonical LTD. [05:25] halp! [05:25] so [05:25] Sorry didn't explain well. There's three in the Repositories. [05:25] <_Oz_> badkitty: all I did was follow the instructions, then ubuntu wouldn't boot when I rebooted [05:26] Applications> Add/Remove [05:26] cptnapalm: ati x1400 [05:26] papuccino1: ahh, IDLE isn't vital, but 2.5 community or canonical should be fine [05:26] <_Oz_> it was that driver package I think [05:26] pocketdrummer, can't help with the specifics but now you know that there is an error in what you're trying to do. [05:26] <_Oz_> I got it booted back up but all of my gfx settings are gone [05:26] Jack_Sparrow: solution? [05:26] papuccino: unless you have python 2.4 of course [05:26] acee1234: know the make and model of the monitor? [05:26] chubs: what do you mean isn't vital? Please explain a bit, I know I can still program in Terminal, is that what you mean? [05:26] how do i install gtk themes? [05:26] how to find the video card i have? [05:26] how will I use nfs or nano to copy over my html code and assets folder? [05:26] <_Oz_> trying to restore from xorg.conf backup now [05:26] <_Oz_> recommend you DO NOT use virtual box [05:26] owen1: lspci [05:26] acee1234: Find the v/h for your specific monitor and edit the xorg..again..:) [05:26] j_humphry: download Emerald from synaptic [05:26] owen1, lspci [05:26] can someone please post a link where i can read on how to fix my net connection in 7.10 thanks [05:26] cptnapalm: laptop um..... dell e1505 [05:26] I'm confused about what this can do for me [05:26] _Oz_-> stop trolling [05:27] Scunizi: thanks [05:27] _Oz_: That is very strange...Seriously Ive never had a problem with it.. I'll even make a screen shot of it if you want [05:27] <_Oz_> I am not trolling. [05:27] acee1234: Same difference.. [05:27] papuccino1: well, IDLE is simply a text editor geared towards python [05:27] acee1234: hrrm... [05:27] I installed a new soundcard and now I only have sound in xmms, any idea what might cause this? [05:27] papuccino1, i downloaded a gtk theme, but its in a bunch of folders, how do i get it in a .emeralrd file? [05:27] <_Oz_> hey, how do I edit xorg.conf and save it as root? [05:27] chubs: So IDLE is simply like Gedit? All it does is provide color syntax for Python? [05:27] <_Oz_> using text editor in the gui? [05:27] papuccino1: it may actually suit you better to use another IDE, because IDLE does a few things for you taht are unconventional [05:27] _Oz_: You are not trolling, but you are on a bit of a rant.. And I am your buddy telling you this [05:28] chubs: Recommendations perhaps? [05:28] papuccino1: yes almost, but it also has a terminal to test python code [05:28] Anybody remember what that app is that lets you choose your monitor from a bunch of presets? [05:28] _Oz_, I open a terminal, type sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:28] papuccino1: i use geany [05:28] <_Oz_> Yeah, it's just that damn virtualbox... I had this install set up perfectly... I was just really annoyed that it messed me up so badly, [05:28] If you're trying to connect to a WEP manually, how can you select Password/Passphrase, as opposed to Hex or ASCII? [05:28] cptnapalm: somewhere in System > Administration [05:28] ok nother issue if i try to restart x only my background shows and the comp freezes [05:28] <_Oz_> But I've got it under control. :) [05:28] j_humphry: Open emerald, and choose import. Browse to the location and hopefully you'll see it there to import. [05:28] Holmes89, nano is for editing files that you can get to. It won't copy anything. You can mount the other partition and get to it. I just can't explain exactly how to do that. [05:28] libdvdcss/libdvdnav/libdvdread were do i find them they are not listed in the synaptic so were else or how do i do it [05:28] j_humphry: If the file is comatible... [05:28] _Oz_: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg or gksudo thunar [05:28] chubs: Is that how you spell it "geany" [05:28] _Oz_: open a command line and sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:29] _Oz_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure /etc/X11/xorg.conf ??? [05:29] Has anyone else run into the "session only lasted 10 seconds" message? I've been reading around and haven't found theright answer yet [05:29] papuccino1: and simply running python "codething" in the terminal will get you the interactive thing just like idle [05:29] Seraph-> you have already proven you can associate and connect using plaing text ie without wep/wpa/leal encryption? [05:29] _Oz_: Or you just want to edit it? [05:29] thanks all for all your help very useful [05:29] Starnestommy: Ah, found it. Thanks [05:29] Oh man, it's 12:30. Forget I asked--- I'll look into it tomorrow [05:29] amenado: Yes. [05:29] papuccino1: yeah, just look in the repos (add/remove programs) at IDE's [05:29] <_Oz_> how can I rename the backup file to the current file [05:29] <_Oz_> using the terminal? [05:29] brb [05:29] sudo cp name of old file name of new file [05:29] What's the difference between sudo and gksudo? [05:29] papuccino1: synaptic will have more too [05:30] pocketdrummer: gksudo is graphical [05:30] !gksudo Very Important [05:30] pocketdrummer: sudo is commandline, gksudo is graphical [05:30] acee1234: Ok, try this (No guarantees though) Open System>Administration>Screen and Graphics [05:30] !gksudo [05:30] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [05:30] _Oz_: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:30] Seraph-> next is to find out if your wifi driver supports such encryption, read up from the vendors web site about its capabilities [05:30] cptnapalm: ok [05:30] chubs: Yeah I know you can run Python in terminal, but having to write "python test.py" everytime I want to test a module is troubling.... [05:30] i want to connect pc to tv. do i need to do anything other than connecting the cables? [05:30] acee1234: Ok, Now click on Model [05:30] pocketdrummer: AFAIK gk is used for graphical operations sudo is for command line [05:30] monte, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [05:30] papuccino1: well just stick with IDLE then, I use it sometimes myself, i was just saying it's not necessary [05:31] <_Oz_> thanks [05:31] <_Oz_> I am rebooting now, badkitty and jack [05:31] papuccino1, What are you trying to do ? [05:31] <_Oz_> hopefully this works [05:31] papuccino1: either 2.5 will work [05:31] <_Oz_> sorry again about the rant [05:31] i had installed ubuntu 7.10 on this old computer that had the clock set to the future. (havn't used it in years) i ran ntpdate-debian, and now all the files are in the future and sudo doesn't work. [05:31] cya tomorrow [05:31] Jack_Sparrow, This is new to me and concerning. So, I type !gksudo if I'm working with graphical (non-terminal) applications? [05:31] <_Oz_> how did it manage to screw me up so bad? I followed the directions precisely [05:31] <_Oz_> first time I've come across that in ubuntu [05:31] chubs: I'll try Geany though. Sounds interesting with the code autocompleting. :P It's aimed towards Python though right? [05:31] getting an install error with Ubuntu/ Intel 64 Bit. Right at the very end it say "cannot install Grub on HD0" [05:31] pocketdrummer: Yes, extremely important [05:31] cptnapalm: ok [05:31] my gutsy x64 install is rebooting my pc when 'kernel mapping tables', i can't get it to install. any ideas? is x64 even worth using over i386 for home desktop purposes? [05:31] scunizi: thank u [05:31] papuccino1: not aimed towards it, just supports it among others [05:31] monte, np [05:31] Jordan: Oh nothing much, just learning along, first time this week using Python. [05:31] _Oz_: I dunno .. maybe it was something else?? Im gonna finish my set up again Ill let u know how it goes [05:31] chubs: Ok, cool. [05:31] something's accessing the hard drive... over and over and over repeatedly. what's a good way to figure out what it is [05:31] Jack_Sparrow, So, just to be sure, you need the ! before gksudo, correct?

[05:36] papuccino1, If you put "#!/usr/bin/env perl" or simply "#!/usr/bin/perl" at the beginning of a text file and set the permissions to executable with chmod then the shell will pass that file to python if you to to "execute" the file, if you put "#!/usr/bin/env perl" it will try to run it with perl [05:37] what software in ubuntu can convert dvd video into video CD [05:37] Jordan: Thank you for the tip. :D [05:37] hello i have ubuntu 7.10 64 installed on my laptop and it is overheating even when idle and after being extremely hot it shots down [05:37] ubud, devede.. it's in synaptic [05:38] can some one help me with UNetbootin [05:38] ubd-> really? thats amazing, your about to melt your mobo? [05:38] nooobody knows that that is winner [05:38] winnerrlz93, what is UNetbootin? [05:38] Scunizi: i need svideo cables, right? [05:38] ubud: Maybe it's you fan. Laptops have problems with those. [05:38] http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html [05:39] i have it i'm just stuck with something [05:39] <_Oz_> I am going to start this ubuntu install over again from scratch [05:39] owen1, depends on your video card and tv input.. my tv has a vga input and hdmi which is basically the same as dvi. adaptor needed. [05:39] <_Oz_> something's majorly wrong [05:39] ubd: Take apart your laptop, get some canned air, and clean the dust out [05:39] <_Oz_> luckily I was just fooling around with that install [05:39] <_Oz_> for compiz effects [05:39] _Oz_: fresh installs FTW [05:39] Scunizi: i have nvidia. [05:39] _Oz_, Can you pastebin your sources.lst? [05:39] laptop is brand new [05:39] owen1, on the computer.. but what kind of input jacks do you have on the tv? [05:40] <_Oz_> FTW? [05:40] heating problem about cpu frequency handlers but i coulnd understand how to solve the problem [05:40] <_Oz_> jordan, thanks for the offer to help, but that wasn't my main problem [05:40] Scunizi: it looks like 2 small rounded holes. [05:40] _Oz_, Specifically, is the first non-commented line "default 0" [05:40] I asked this in #apache to no avail, so I'm gonna try my luck here: on apache, how do you get your server to list hidden files over HTTP? [05:40] ? [05:40] Scunizi: i think it's svideo? [05:40] _Oz_: For The Win [05:40] is there a good guide on manually partitioning ? [05:41] <_Oz_> ah. :) [05:41] therer utilities like cpudyn etc but synaptic doesnt let me o install them to keep another program [05:41] Scunizi: maybe it's 3 holes. [05:41] acee1234: Still there? [05:41] _Oz_: Hmm Yeha I am booting Backtrack2 right now from my virtualbox [05:41] scunizi: that website u gave me worked but it got half way and broke it say i ahve to broken packages how do i fix it [05:41] ubd: ok, well, that's weird. Not sure what's wrong. (although I can personally attest to cleaning the air ducts when your laptop overheats =]) [05:41] cpan apparently needs root [05:41] owen1, is it a standard tv or lcd tv? svideo is a round jack with multiple holes in it. probaby 3-5 holes.. do yo have svideo out on the video card.? [05:41] how do i do that from terminal? [05:41] <_Oz_> badkitty: I think it must have been compiz not playing nicely with vm [05:41] <_Oz_> I guess [05:41] prohna: sudo cpan [05:41] Does anyone have any Experience with Networking? [05:42] !anyone | pocketdrummer [05:42] <_Oz_> because it came back with lots of video problems [05:42] pocketdrummer: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:42] pocketdrummer: what sort? [05:42] <_Oz_> I can't get my nvidia drivers back [05:42] monte, i think there is an option in synaptic to check for broken packages and fix them.. [05:42] _Oz_: But I have the same compiz that you do.. what type of card do you have? [05:42] <_Oz_> nvidia geforce 7600 [05:42] o does anyone no were that is in the synaptic [05:42] _Oz_: Mines a 7800 .. basically same card [05:42] prohna: to use admin (root) privileges in the terminal, do "sudo" and then the command [05:42] pocketdrummer, what's the question? [05:42] for broken packages [05:42] is there any way to start an X display from the command line? [05:42] _Oz_, I assume you are trying to run compiz / use the nvidia drivers in the host OS and not the guest? [05:42] <_Oz_> there are lots of setting in compiz though [05:42] monte: what are you looking for? [05:43] <_Oz_> I had mine running pretty hot [05:43] broken packes [05:43] Scunizi: it's standard tv. and no, i don't have svideo according to your description. [05:43] packages [05:43] Well, I'm trying to network a windows XP computer with my Ubuntu computer here. The XP computer has the Printer, and I want to be able to access it over the network. [05:43] <_Oz_> running the desktop cube, transparency, all kinds of stuff [05:43] thiemster: try startx [05:43] where are the icon files stored? I'd like to change the icon for a link and am not sure where to look for other system icons. [05:43] owen1, don't bother. it won't hook to it and actually display anything. [05:43] badkitty: thx [05:43] <_Oz_> pocketdrummer: very easy [05:43] pocketdrummer: samba is your savior [05:43] <_Oz_> just go to "printing" in system -> administration [05:44] thiemster, Yes, startx, xinit or "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start" depending on what exactly you want to start along with X [05:44] pocketdrummer, what you're interested in is samba.. I'll see if ubutu can help [05:44] Scunizi: i didn't understand your last message... [05:44] <_Oz_> you don't even need samba to print to an xp machine from ubuntu, though [05:44] !samba | pocketdrummer [05:44] pocketdrummer: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [05:44] Jordan_U: thank u [05:44] thiemster, np [05:44] Scunizi: what kind of cable do i need? [05:44] badkitty: were do i go to fix broken packages or does anyone kno [05:44] Thanks, I'll give it a look. :D [05:45] monte: I think you can do it from the command line.. but I dont know off hand Jordan_U? [05:45] monte, Broken in what way? Are you trying to file a bug or fix a problem on your own computer only? [05:45] monte: I think its sudo apt-get -f install [05:45] owen1, if your computer has a standard monitor output and your tv doesn't have svideo or hdmi or a vga input you won't be able to hook up to it. It simply won't convert the signals correctly IF you could find a cable. [05:45] monte: but I might be wrong [05:45] badkitty, Do what? [05:45] Do ti-calculators (especially ti-84+ SE) work with ubuntu? [05:46] monte: but I don't think it would hurt anything at any rate. [05:46] Jordan_U: Hey what are the differences in stating x that you gave earlier [05:46] monte: if your package manager is totally hose go for sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install === macogw_ is now known as macogw [05:46] his is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'. [05:46] <_Oz_> compiz is the only logical explanation, badkitty. I'm seeing lots of people have been using virtualbox without too much problem but I've seen in several places now (forums, tutorials, etc) everyone says don't use compiz with virtualbox. [05:46] i'm trying to install ircd-hybrid with SSL support. can anyone help me? [05:46] thats wat it says in the add remoe thing when i try to get in it [05:46] out of the box, it doesn't appear to support SSL [05:47] monte: try my previous advice [05:47] monte: sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install [05:47] in a terminal [05:47] monte: Try sudo apt-get -f install [05:47] _Oz_: Hmm I dont buy it... Maybe I am just extremely lucky but all I had to do was sudp apt-get install virtualbox.. then add myself to the vbox user group and wahlah [05:47] monte: or ignore me and do what chubs730 says :) [05:48] <_Oz_> badkitty: what other reason could there be? I mean it totally trashed my install [05:48] lol its working [05:48] <_Oz_> I am reinstalling from scratch right now on the computer that went down [05:48] thx [05:48] badkitty, xinit starts just X and xterm, no window manager now desktop environment ( you can't even move / resize the xterm window ), startx starts a gnome ( or whatever default DM ) session ( basically the same as xinit then running "gnome-session" ) "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start" starts the GDM login screen that you get when you boot normally [05:48] _Oz_: And I have a ton of other stuff running too like compiz, avant window navigato, screenlets.. [05:48] monte: np [05:48] <_Oz_> and it has been advised repeatedly that you should not use compiz and virtualbox... [05:48] <_Oz_> well, you might have a "lucky" combination of compiz features running while vb is running [05:48] How can I stop mplayerplug.in from opening in its own window? [05:49] <_Oz_> (what's navigato, btw?) [05:49] monte: awesomeness :) I remember the first time I trashed my apt... I was a sad person... and stupid... I tried to hand edit the apt stuff [05:49] where are the icon files stored? I'd like to change the icon for a link and am not sure where to look for other system icons. [05:49] Jordan_U: Wow thanks.. I guess I should learn that one with gdm start [05:49] ctnapalm: hand editing, slackware, the good old days [05:49] lol thats funny [05:49] Jordan_U: Than Again, I am still reliant of the GUI but I do alot of work in terminal windows [05:50] badkitty, np [05:50] my question in general is: do ubuntu packages *have* options? [05:50] gandhii: check in your .themes folder in your home directory, in each theme's folder, or look in /usr/share/pixmaps [05:50] chubs730: hand editing, clueless luser.... ;) [05:50] and how do you see what the options are? [05:50] i know this is a stupid question, sence iv been useing ubuntu for years... but i just removed my trash can from my bar and i cant figure out how to put it back.. [05:51] _Oz_: Well I have desktop cube, cube reflection, all the task switchers, .. most the fun eyecandy stuff is enabled (except the ones that cause conflicts with lesser cool ones) [05:51] -------______--------HEIL HITLER!-------__-----__--- [05:51] -------\----/--------------------------/-/----/-/--- [05:51] ---_----|--|----_-----WE-CONTROL------/-/----/-/---- [05:51] --|-\___|--|___/-|----YOUR-WORLD-----/-/___-/-/___-- [05:51] ok, almost a year i guess [05:51] --|--____--____--|----HEILHITLER----/___--//___--/-- [05:51] chubs730: I really did try to go and hand edit that stuff...

Ok, got that thing open? [05:52] cptnapalm: it is using restricted drivers and direct render returns yes [05:52] <_Oz_> badkitty: it's ok, I don't mind reinstalling it all too much [05:52] cptnapalm: yes [05:52] <_Oz_> it's THIS computer that I'm currently on that I've set up for productivity [05:52] hmm, i did a brief google search, but is anyone familiar with a linux irc program that implements a single window multiple pane mdi type interface similar to (dare i say it) mirc? [05:52] _Oz_: Ok, maybe you can try qemu or vmware [05:52] acee1234: so 3d is good to go just resolution silliness? [05:52] <_Oz_> that computer has an XP/ubuntu dual boot and I don't really need ubuntu on it [05:53] devnull: try xchat [05:53] _Oz_: Although i cant believe yours got messed up.. You were running gutsy? [05:53] <_Oz_> badkitty: I'll probably try virtualbox again just without the compiz [05:53] <_Oz_> yes, gutsy [05:53] machrider, It's not, that is a compile time option ( though you can grab and rebuild the source package with apt-get source , not as convenient as Gentoo but not too hard and better integrated than installing from a source tar file ) [05:53] devnull, irssi, xchat, bitchx [05:53] cptnapalm: hah yeah i remember when i first started on linux and after failing miserably at things decided it was time to "rtfm" [05:53] cptnapalm: yes [05:53] _Oz_: Did you reconfigure xorg and everything [05:53] i am using gnome-xchat, is it capable of anything other than the default tabbed interface? [05:53] Jordan_U: ok, i'll do that. thanks. [05:53] devnull, use regular xchat, not gnome-xchat [05:53] machrider, np [05:53] chubs730: Favorite sig of all time: WWJD? JWRTFM! [05:53] <_Oz_> I just copied the backup xorg over the current xorg [05:53] i am wanting to be able to view all my channels at the same time [05:53] ok i will try that [05:53] <_Oz_> and it was still bollocks [05:54] cptnapalm: haha, i've never seen that [05:54] devnull, would you like to see multiple connections at once.. ? irssi from the command line does it well. [05:54] how do i use emerald to install themes? [05:54] dont really care about multiple connections, just multiple windows [05:54] err channels [05:54] acee1234: ok, what we're going to try is to select generic from the list on the right [05:54] devnull, right click on the channel tab or w/e and hit "Detach Tab" [05:54] devnull, that's actually what I ment.. [05:54] devnull: i'm using gnome-xchat with multiple channels right now [05:54] cptnapalm: dont see generic option [05:55] devnull: unless you mean different channels in different tabs [05:55] acee1234: Ok, click where it says model [05:55] devnull: they're on the left side [05:55] cptnapalm: ok [05:55] acee1234: scroll up to the top on the left pane [05:55] devnull, for irssi.. it can be loaded sudo apt-get irssi then check out http://linuxreviews.org/software/irc/irssi/ [05:55] different channels in different windows so to speak. able to see all individual channel conversations at the same time [05:55] devnull, do what i told you, you can detach the tabs from xchat [05:56] and being the lazyass that i am, i am more interested in a graphical solution than a console one :) [05:56] devnull: ahh, i see, no idea if it can do that, ignore me [05:56] acee1234: top selection should be generic in bold [05:56] cptnapalm: only generic listed is on the left screen but yes [05:56] devnull, i dont know if gnome-xchat can, from what ive heard its kinda dumbed down, but regular xchat can [05:56] _Oz_: Are you sure it copied it over? You didn't try to reconfigure [05:56] acee1234: ok, click that. [05:56] cptnapalm: ok [05:56] it looks like gnome-xchat cant, i will install the regular xchat [05:56] MasterShrek, after detaching how do you reattach? [05:57] acee1234: now in the right window should start off with LCD panels [05:57] Scunizi, no idea, i never do it heh [05:57] cptnapalm: yes [05:57] <_Oz_> badkitty: yeah, I tried to reconfigure. everything in ubuntu was majorly messed up. I couldn't load any drivers... video refused to get out of low res... nothing worked. [05:57] scroll down until you see LCD Panel 1680x1050 [05:57] <_Oz_> it was like an atom bomb going off in there, or something. [05:57] Scunizi, xchat > attach window [05:57] ok === chaky_ is now known as chaky [05:57] <_Oz_> it's ok, I'm over it. [05:57] _Oz_: wow thats nuts man... when was the last reboot? [05:58] <_Oz_> hmm... 15 mins ago maybe [05:58] next irc q, know of anything that can do blowfish encryption? :P [05:58] MasterShrek, ah I knew there was an easy answer! [05:58] <_Oz_> I knew I was playing with fire with compiz, that's why I set it up on a computer that was nonessential [05:58] <_Oz_> no big deal [05:58] _Oz_: Strange, well anyhow I guess just don't run it while compiz is running.. [05:58] acee1234: scroll down until you see LCD Panel 1680x1050 [05:58] devnull, http://www.usinglinux.org/irc/irssi-fish.html [05:59] _Oz_: Haha .. I only had problems with it in edgy when I had to install the nvidia drivers manually [05:59] <_Oz_> badkitty: really appreciate all of your help, that's one of the things that make ubuntu great, the ubuntu community [05:59] _Oz_: For sure.. I learn so much just from gleaming what people say in this room [06:00] Is there a way to force your mouse's sample rate to stay at 500? [06:00] <_Oz_> I need to start learning some command line basics [06:00] <_Oz_> I'm really good at copying at pasting into the terminal window [06:00] devnull, once you learn about irssi then learn about screen.. can be really powerful stuff. [06:00] <_Oz_> but I need to learn what the hell it all means [06:00] !bash | _Oz_ [06:00] _Oz_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [06:00] pocketdrummer: no clue... but I'm curious why that would be something you need to do [06:00] _Oz_: Don't worry it will come with time trust me [06:00] :) [06:00] oh i am quite familiar with screen and console apps :) [06:00] oz: cd, ls, mkdir, renmov are all you need [06:00] kinda [06:01] <_Oz_> my biggest discomfort at this point comes from simply not understanding, exactly, the file structure [06:01] <_Oz_> I don't understand where things go when they're installed [06:01] <_Oz_> in windows, it's simple [06:01] i finally broke down and swapped my ati card for an nvidia card, so i am ready to make an attempt at using linux full time on the desktop [06:01] /usr/bin [06:01] :) [06:01] <_Oz_> they go in c:/program files and some dlls get dumped into /windows [06:01] only game i really play is wow [06:01] chubs730: Don't forget the learning by extreme pain example: rm -R / heh [06:01] _Oz_, sort of simple in windows.. [06:01] <_Oz_> in linux, I have no friggin' idea [06:01] !fsh [06:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about fsh - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:01] hrm [06:01] <_Oz_> and I don't really get the "package" concept either -- is it like a zip? [06:01] cptnapalm: froze had to restart but works [06:01] _Oz_: dpkg -L PACKAGE_NAME :) [06:01] cptnapalm: hah yeah, don't fall into that trap oz [06:02] _Oz_: Me neither haha ..yah package is similar to zip [06:02] _Oz_: package is more like an installer [06:02] hi all [06:02] _Oz_, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard [06:02] <_Oz_> cptnapalm: yeah, I know what rm does :) [06:02] oz: /usr/bin is where programs hang out when they're installed, as well as /usr/local/bin [06:02] <_Oz_> ah [06:02] <_Oz_> thank you, mastershrek [06:02] _Oz_, kinda like an .exe.. with variations.. [06:02] cptnapalm: Well, G7 mouse changes it from 500 to 150 all by itself in both windows and linux (somehow). So, the cursor hops all over the screen. I'm negotiating with Logitech about them sending me a _Different_ mouse, but they're making it hard. [06:02] cptnapalm: thank you [06:02] _Oz_: Yah its an installable archive basically.. a tarball is most similiar to a zip i would think [06:02] i have a ASUS M3A mother board with 2G RAM, Athlon 4800+, 320G HDD, mythbuntu installed [06:02] _Oz_: no one can every be *nix guru without having wiped out their OS with rm at least once :) [06:02] oh yeah, twinview = roxors :P [06:03] everytime i reboot it, the MAC address changes [06:03] 0 [06:03] um someone gave me a website link about unbuntu restricted extras [06:03] acee1235: so alls well in 1680x1050? [06:03] <_Oz_> badkitty: like a self-executing zip (.exe) that's compressed into a single file? [06:03] monte: probably me [06:03] skwashd, sounds like a bios setting maybe, is it totally random which mac address? [06:03] _Oz_: it's not self-executing [06:03] can u give me that link again [06:03] cptnapalm: yes [06:03] oz, cptnapalm: or installing debian twice because "it didn't work", because you were too lazy to check the website and find out what startx was [06:03] skwashd: That's really odd, I didn't think MAC addresses ever changed. [06:04] cptnapalm: everything is tiny on my 15" screen [06:04] acee1235: Awesome :) [06:04] indeed [06:04] MasterShrek: that's what i thought ... checked it ... the only LAN options are "use boot rom" (disabled) and "smart mac" (auto - oither option disabled the nic) [06:04] monte, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [06:04] hi [06:04] <_Oz_> startx? what's that? [06:04] <_Oz_> and how could it have helped me? [06:04] pocketdrummer: you can hack it .. but normally it shouldn't change [06:04] scunizi: thanks [06:05] chubs730: Man I remember starting with Red Hat 4.something and trying to get X working.... had the case open on its side with a flashlight trying to read chipset numbers heh [06:05] skwashd, very weird, never heard of such a thing [06:05] oz: i wouldn't worry about it, but if you ever use something like slackware or debian, it boots to a command line by default [06:05] _Oz_: Well a package is really what the name implies and you tell the computer what to do with it: sudo (super user do) apt-get (aptitude is the package manager) install (this is what to do with this package) virtualbox [06:05] Guys, what means "start application in terminal"??? How can i emulate this way in script? [06:05] acee1235: on 15" I'm thinking 1440x900 might be a better bet [06:05] oz: startx starts the x server, the graphical side [06:05] <_Oz_> ctnapalm: yep, that's what scared me away from linux for a long time, but with ubuntu, users like me are being brought into the fold [06:05] MasterShrek: ubuntu is loading the wrong driver for it too ... from what i have been able to dig up [06:05] badkitty: don't you mean "apt-get is the package manager"? :) [06:05] <_Oz_> ahh [06:05] it should be using the atl1 driver ... not forcedeth (nvidia) [06:06] <_Oz_> so to install, it's always apt-get install filename [06:06] ubuntulover: start the application from a terminal, applications > accessories > terminal [06:06] crdlb: Did i miss the get? [06:06] <_Oz_> I wondered why "install xyz" never worked [06:06] skwashd, try blacklisting forcedeth maybe? [06:06] !blacklist | skwashd [06:06] badkitty: you said apt-get, then aptitude in the explanation :) [06:06] skwashd: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [06:06] ibnstall is a different command. :) [06:06] cptnapalm: i like things small i still have issues with restart x freezing my computer showing only the background [06:06] _Oz_: not exactly, apt-get installs from repositories, dpkg is the raw package manager [06:06] crdlb: aptitude is the package manager.. apt-get is how you reference it i guess.. you can also use aptitude in a terminal [06:06] MasterShrek: about to try that :) [06:06] which is capable of installing a .deb files [06:06] <_Oz_> ... oh [06:07] <_Oz_> how does apt-get know where to find the repository [06:07] badkitty: they're separate apps, similar, but not identical [06:07] hi,all [06:07] ubuntu Elven Magic! [06:07] hmm, whats the best alternative to konfabulator / yahoo widgets nowadays, still gkrellm or is there something better? [06:07] :) [06:07] rainwalker: Now, i mean, i whant to bind start "python" in .xbindkeysrc, but i can't, cuz python should be started in terminal. So, how can i write it in script? [06:07] oz: text configuration files on your computer [06:07] _Oz_: Canonical and the Knoppix guys particularly really have made a world of difference in that regard. One thing I do sort of miss is the kind of bonding that went on with the machine from knowing it so well... Hell, I still remember what I called that machine I build over a decade ago.... Tankgirl :) [06:07] _Oz_: /etc/apt/sources.list plus a cache it makes when you sudo apt-get update [06:07] crdlb: Oh .. IC [06:07] Is there any way to kill "gdmgreeter" (and everything involving a GUI/X For that matter, including gdm/X itself) so it doesn't restart again automatically? [06:07] acee1235: Ok, that might be an ATI driver problem [06:07] ubuntulover: hmm...I'm not sure, but I'm not the best with scripts [06:07] <_Oz_> and how is it retrieving them? ftp? [06:07] <_Oz_> I see, crdlb. [06:07] _Oz_: or http, depends on the mirror [06:08] rainwalker: It's even not about scripts. Try to start "python" in "Alt+F2" - same thing. [06:08] cptnapalm: so i basically need to rip my gpu out and find a way to put a nvidia gpu in my laptop [06:08] crdlb: but you can still type sudo aptitude install xxx cant you? So is apt-get a shortcut or a seperate command alltogether? [06:08] ubuntulover: you mean, nothing happens? [06:08] Is there any way to kill "gdmgreeter" (and everything involving a GUI/X For that matter, including gdm/X itself) so it doesn't restart again automatically? [06:09] sp219, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [06:09] <_Oz_> those text files which are updated when apt-get updates are kinda like nameservers in a way then, eh? [06:09] badkitty: it's a separate command; aptitude was intended as a more powerful replacement for apt-get, but apt-get has implemented some of those features recently. [06:09] rainwalker: yep. Maybe, something happends! (: But there is no python interpreter on the screen. [06:09] acee1235: If that is even possible :( ATI can be awkward... Some machines they run like absolute champs. Others, like a couple of desktops I tried Ubuntu on, they crash the kernel after trying to switch to console or, god forbid! log out [06:09] what does control + alt + F4 do? last time I tried it I think it killed my X completely...so I'm afraid to try again [06:09] badkitty: compare apt-get --help and aptitude --help [06:10] MasterShrek: perfect, thanks! [06:10] cptnapalm: yep mine does the latter [06:10] i never could get stuff working right with my ati card [06:10] ubuntulover: I think you have to run a python script with python, I don't think there's an actual python GUI that's supposed to come up [06:10] so i got an nvidia one lol [06:10] rainwalker, that goes to console #4 - use alt-ctrl-F7 to get back to X [06:10] rainwalker: that should just switch you to virtual terminal 4 [06:10] !console [06:10] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [06:10] rainwalker: You should just press Ctrl+Alt+F7! (: [06:10] Dr_willis: wow that would have been nice to know at the time... [06:10] crdlb: Yah I'll look into the differences one of these days [06:10] acee1235: welcome to the misery of being an ATI user :( [06:10] rainwalker, it pays to read up on Linux fundamentals. :) [06:10] guess o [06:10] rainwalker: are you using compiz? [06:10] so* [06:10] crdlb: yes [06:10] thats been a linux feature for.... ever.. :) i think.. heh [06:10] cptnapalm: tis a temporary state i assure you [06:11] So, can someone helps me? [06:11] I was messing with key bindings for compiz stuff and set that as one...haha scared the crap out of me [06:11] rainwalker: some drivers have broken vt-switching while using compiz, so when you switch to a terminal, you can't switch back to X :/ [06:11] Developers, developers, developers!!! [06:11] (: [06:11] cptnapalm: im thinking a nice termite experiment is in order [06:11] thermite [06:11] scunizi: i installed the restricted extras and wat do i do after that [06:11] acee1235: as it was with me... I bought my new desktop, and the first thing I did upon arriving home was to burn an Ubuntu disk, rip out the ATI card,slap in an nvidia, wipe out windows and install Linux [06:11] MasterShrek: i love it when the vendor's website spec doesn't match what is in the box [06:12] crdlb: well I didn't know control alt F7 would bring me back, I just thought I'd broken something [06:12] _Oz_: To my knowledge, your sources hold files that reference the packages that are within their control, so when you update your sources, you are in essence downloading a compiled list of the packages that are on each source, therefore when you invoke a command such as apt-get install, it can reference the package name with the source and proceed to download and install, etc [06:12] the open ATI driver works fine for me... [06:12] rainwalker: just something to keep in mind if it doesn't work :) [06:12] " rainwalker: the open ATI driver works fine for me..." With 3D??? [06:12] ii wonder if insurance would cover that... [06:12] Oh, to everyone who likes using the command line: Buy a Sun Keyboard. The Control key is where the Caps lock key normally is. Makes life much better. [06:13] is the original WINE program the best available, or would anyone recommend something else? [06:13] <_Oz_> it's a very clever, robust, and efficient system, badkitty. [06:13] ubuntulover: yes, as far as I can tell [06:13] hello all [06:13] devnull: the latest Linux widget stuff I've heard about is gDesklets & screenlets [06:13] Oh No! I found one of those Rotten Jelly Bellies in my bag! I've been poisoned! [06:13] sigma, wine is about the best [06:13] <_Oz_> sigma: yeah, WINE is still the best. [06:13] rainwalker: ooh, you should be fine then, the radeon driver has perfect vt-switching afaik :) [06:13] cptnapalm: wrong... it makes life hell [06:13] how is it going [06:13] thanks [06:13] cptnapalm: that sounds quite awesome [06:13] fignew_: How?!?!? [06:13] Theres guides on swiching the caps lock and ctrl keys. :) [06:13] cptnapalm: though you could always just trade keys and remap [06:13] _Oz_: Indeed; not to mention convenient as all heck [06:13] one more thing... I have no control over my bluetooth module in linux, only in windows. My bluetooth mouse works, but linux believes there is no adapter present. any ideas? [06:14] Guys, what tine is on your clocks??? (: [06:14] It's very interesting. [06:14] chubs730: and miss the opportunity to have even more crap? Perish the thought! [06:14] *TIME [06:14] you should see my home made keyboard [06:14] <_Oz_> it's so superior to M$' nonsense,. [06:14] <_Oz_> I have to say, I am simply blown away by ubuntu. [06:14] cptnapalm: I do wanna get a Sun Keyboard from work just so I can give "props" :D [06:14] <_Oz_> Here, for free, is a program which knocks microsoft and their billions on their ass. [06:14] my clock keeps turning an hour back... [06:14] i rearanged the keys myself [06:14] fignew_: I got one off eBay for like $5 [06:14] <_Oz_> it's powerful! it's a better OS. not some cheap little "cute" OS which is what I was expecting. I am just so impressed by the whole experience. [06:14] cptnapalm: yeah i can't say i don't want one, i'm guilty of of having bought a flexible keyboard off of ebay [06:14] did it have PS2? [06:15] _Oz_: It's not just ubuntu, but the whole open source deal.. other linux distros offer the same type of package management systems [06:15] fignew_: USB [06:15] <_Oz_> badkitty: yeah. ubuntu, to me, is the gateway which made the world of linux possible and then attractive to me. [06:15] _Oz_: welcome to ubuntu [06:15] ahh... newer style, we have a bunch of those at work too :/ [06:15] #ubuntu-ph [06:15] <_Oz_> I had friends who were linuxheads back in the day. [06:15] badkitty: having used most, I think ubuntu's works the best [06:15] Im runnung Ubuntu from my D: drive. But Windows from C:. But C: has dissapeared! How I make it appear? [06:15] <_Oz_> I watched 'em try to install redhat from the command line and said, "Yep... not for me." [06:15] though that may be an rpm vs deb thing really [06:16] theAtom: huh? [06:16] theAtom: you mean a live cd? [06:16] <_Oz_> Not that there was anything wrong with that, of course. I just knew it was not a good fit for me at that time. [06:16] sigma, plz listen this time [06:16] _Oz_: Me too.. I guess if I started with say fedora I may like it better but I have tried others and I too like ubuntu the best so far [06:16] <_Oz_> Now, with ubuntu, idiots like me can join your formerly exclusive "brainy only" parties. [06:16] use alien for rpms [06:16] my MS Windows boots from C:. but it seems C: is gone and wont boot Windows. What Can I do? [06:16] Eww jalapeno jelly belly wth [06:16] ubotu nvidia [06:16] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:16] alien is evil [06:16] _Oz_: I'm one of those people who had a 386 and HATED windows 3 :) I liked my DOS that did what I told it to. [06:16] how do I activate or mount C:? [06:16] is there an equalizer for the alsa mixer? [06:16] its so dificult to play propietary things in fedora [06:16] !beryl [06:16] Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged.

[06:17] sigma: when you say D: has disappeared, do you mean you can't boot it? or you can't see it's contents from buntu? [06:17] <_Oz_> I was the master of DOS, back in the day. [06:17] cptnapalm: the only thing i could do in DOS was run doom, since i was 6 years old, but i loved it [06:17] cptnapalm, but I dont even see it anymore. do I mount it? [06:17] cptnapalm: I hated windows 3.1 too but everything was so much easier.. Although alot of my oldshool softwares beat the crap out of ms stuff. [06:17] <_Oz_> ahhhh doom [06:17] nickrud_: not me man [06:17] Funny story I ran in to the guy who made the BBS software iniquity a few weeks ago... [06:17] <_Oz_> when I first played it, it was like a loud gong going off in my head [06:17] sigma: doh [06:17] <_Oz_> I couldn't believe it [06:18] <_Oz_> I called my friend eric who came over immediately [06:18] sigma: but it looks like someone else has it anyway [06:18] theAtom: try in command line: mount /dev/sda1 /windows [06:18] like ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:18] !windows [06:18] For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows.

[06:22] _Oz_: yup, runs fine so far =] [06:22] Okay, I'll look at the ones everyone mentioned. [06:22] Wow, I forgot how "Where the hell did the last two hours of my life go" when I'm on IRC, which I haven't really used since I hung out on #quake on EFnet [06:22] GradeFPoultry: It will run faster if you install it though [06:22] gradefpoultry: oh then go for slax or dsl i'd say [06:22] are there still problems importing .doc files into openoffice [06:22] _Oz_: what's funny is that I had trouble with 6.06 [06:22] badkitty: Oh, good point >_> [06:22] Badger apt-cache depends ubuntu-restricted-extras , my 64bit has the jre , I'd assume the 32bit has the plugin [06:22] <_Oz_> poultry: I think your best combo of fun and speed would come from kubuntu [06:23] gradefpoultry: don't bother using the ubuntus purely as livecd's [06:23] mrchicago: occasionally formatting doesn't work right, but for the most part it's fine [06:23] mrchicago, depends on the complexity of the .doc file i hear. [06:23] tab completion is killing me tonight [06:23] nickrud_: Too many similar names? [06:23] hmm [06:23] badkitty: lack of attention [06:23] Ok.

[06:24] CVD-PR: because we can :) [06:24] <_Oz_> is there a way to get "universal bookmarks" in firefox in ALL computers you might use? some sort of plugin? [06:24] <_Oz_> I have so many computers and I don't have the same bookmarks in all of them. [06:24] _Oz_, i use the google browser sync extension for that. [06:24] but then "there any 64 version" etc... [06:24] _Oz_: del.icio.us for me [06:24] hi,all [06:24] <_Oz_> Dr_willis: what's that? [06:24] i know that when you install firefox itll ask you ti import ie bookmarks [06:24] hi [06:24] I just installed linux mint but I add to install it with linux safe graphical mode, because the mode by default didnt work [06:24] now that it's installed the GUI won't work [06:24] when I boot up [06:24] badkitty: Hell I compile my hello, world programs with maximum optimization and in 64 bit heh [06:24] Having 64 bit gave me a shitload of problems... [06:24] I should give 64-bit Another go though.. Its been since before edgy even [06:24] <_Oz_> I've always wondered what the hell del.icio.us was [06:24] When trying to first installed Linux [06:24] _Oz_, a extension that does just what you asked. :) [06:25] cvd-pr: 64 bit versions are a bit faster for 64 bit processors, and allows you to use more RAM [06:25] install* [06:25] cptnapalm: haha [06:25] lewix: we don't do support for linux mint here ... [06:25] <_Oz_> I'm googling for it now, Dr_willis. If it is in fact what I seek... I will be appreciative. [06:25] nickrud_: it's based on ubuntu and they dont have a channel [06:25] Hello, my ubuntu server edition is set to dhcp, yet it does not connect to the network any ideas? [06:25] _Oz_, theres other alternatives to it also. [06:25] badkitty: Always use overkill. Always. [06:25] Hi, I just installed gutsy and I need help installing drivers for my wireless card.. I am using Madwifi... but when i try to do ifconfig ath0 down and wifi0 down I get the message "ERROR while getting interface flags, no such device" [06:25] lewix: try startx from the terminal [06:25] can i do a expose cube thingy? [06:25] lewix: if that's what it boots you to [06:26] CVD-PR: Our computers will still function after 2038. [06:26] <_Oz_> Dr_willis: that is precisely what I wanted! [06:26] but not all things are in 64bit, i have a AMD64 but never gonna use a 64bit, [06:26] <_Oz_> and it's from google, which is always good. [06:26] chubs730: it wont work [06:26] os [06:26] lewix: hmm, any error message? [06:26] lewix, reconfigure your X server, install proper drivers for your video card.. is the basic things to check first. [06:26] Hello?, can someone help with a dhcp server problem? [06:26] CVD-PR: Then your computer is a ticking bomb. Enjoy watching the time_t's wrap around. [06:26] how do i get this enabled: http://www.beryl-project.org/images/cube_full.jpg [06:26] Dr_willis: how? im on windows right now...what should I check [06:26] cvd-pr: there are very few programs not in 64 bit, and if they aren't you can always compile them yourself [06:27] i dont have too many issues with my video card [06:27] compile :-( [06:27] cvd-pr: the only real annoyance is java (grr!) [06:27] j_humphrey: what video card are you using? lspci | grep -i vga will tell you [06:27] j_humphrey: install the package "compizconfig-settings-manager" and enable the desktop cube [06:27] its an ati x1400 [06:27] lewix, check the !nvidia and !fixres bot factoies urls. [06:27] cvd-pr: you'll rarely have to compile, 32 bit versions run fine with 32 bit libraries [06:27] CVD-PR: Compiling most stuff is really pretty easy. If the stuff is sane at all just have to use 3 commands and it will be installed [06:27] i have desktop cube, but it doesn't look like that picture [06:27] its so difficult to code from 32 to 64? [06:27] lewix, there is a Mint support irc channel on some other chennel. Check the Mint web site. [06:27] ij_humphrey: i feel your pain x1400.... [06:27] can someone around please help me with burning dvds [06:28] j_humphrey: oh, well what do you want it to look like? [06:28] i already compiled some stuff [06:28] http://www.beryl-project.org/images/cube_full.jpg rainwalker [06:28] or tell me where i can go for help, ive googled and found nothing [06:28] j_humphrey: system->admin->restricted manager , install the ati driver and reboot. run fglrxinfo in the terminal, make sure it says you're using the ati 8.37.6 driver. Install xserver-xgl compizconfig-settings-manager , and log out and back in [06:28] d3ads0ul, you mean creating VIDEO dvds or making DATA dvd's ? [06:28] j_humphrey: I saw that, but what is it about that picture that you want? [06:28] CVD-PR: x86_64 is fully backward compatible. You can run most ia32 binaries on it. [06:28] If I compile a new kernel other than the generic one, will it make a difference? [06:28] burning a video .iso [06:28] I've tried to get the cube working too, even with it enabled, it doesn't make a cube. [06:28] Hello?, can someone help with a dhcp server problem? [06:28] hey [06:28] d3ads0ul: What's the problem? [06:28] maybe, I'm using the wrong key combination? [06:28] pocketdrummer: what do you mean? [06:28] j_humphrey: problem is quite possibly the card.... using the ATI drivers may result in crashing your machine. Just so you know what may happen. [06:29] d3ads0ul: Actually, ignore me, I don't even know what I'm doing on Ubuntu yet >_< [06:29] wont burn, says input-output error [06:29] i have a raid 0 setup and i just upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10 and now i get /dev/md0 does not exist dropping to a shell [06:29] rainwalker, it just flips. no cube :-/ [06:29] d3ads0ul: I'll try to find something on google. [06:29] cptnapalm: not really, been using the ati for a while now and helping quite a few chipset versions [06:29] pocketdrummer: what key combo are you useing? [06:29] pocketdrummer, you n eed to have 4 virtual desktops enabled for the full cube effect. [06:29] so i installed dosbox from the repository and have no clue where its configuration files are.... [06:29] using* [06:29] I want the actual cube, it looks like the picture is a cube in expose, but when i activate the cube, it just flips the screen, rainwalker [06:29] <_Oz_> j_humphrey: I have the answer to your problem [06:29] ive been all over google, see a lot of people with problems, but not the same as mine [06:29] Ashnal, read the dosbox docs/manpages. it can read them from different places. [06:29] j_humphrey: how many desktops do you have? [06:30] j_humphrey: what key combo are you using? [06:30] <_Oz_> because I just solved it myself today :) [06:30] j_humphrey: you have x1400 correct and does your video playback flicker? [06:30] Ashnal, i make a seperate config in each dos prograsm directory for my dosbox needs. [06:30] _Oz_ how? [06:30] d3ads0ul: if it's just an .iso, burn it with k3b or any other burning program [06:30] j_humphrey: Its because you only have it set for 2 desktops (2 sides) you need 4 (cube) [06:30] d3ads0ul: Check out this thread: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdrkit/+bug/15424 [06:30] pocketdrummer, j_humphrey ccsm , the rotate cube option, increase the zoom. Then, hold down the middle mouse button and move the mouse [06:30] acee1235, i just installed the OS today, and installed all the new drivers [06:30] <_Oz_> j_humphrey: go into compiz config [06:30] this is the error i get Executing 'builtin_dd if=/dev/fd/0 of=/dev/scd1 obs=32k seek=0' [06:30] /dev/scd1: "Current Write Speed" is 1.0x1352KBps. [06:30] :-( unable to WRITE@LBA=0h: Input/output error [06:30] :-( write failed: Input/output error [06:30] nickrud_: Just bought a new machine. Had an ATI. Crashed the same way another card did. Swapping out to nvidia helped. They are pretty hit or miss and some have had problems with the X1400 [06:30] <_Oz_> choose "general options" [06:30] badkitty, i have 4 desktops [06:31] but it doesnt toast my dvd-rs [06:31] _oz_ im there [06:31] !paste | d3ads0ul [06:31] d3ads0ul: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [06:31] j_humphrey: Your sure? You have to check within ccsm (compiz settings manager) [06:31] <_Oz_> look under "desktops" or "video" or something like that where you can set the number of horizontal and vertical desktops [06:31] rainwalker, ctrl+alt+ Left/right key. Is that right? [06:31] cptnapalm: hm, I've helped a couple set that up. The only issue I heard was bad video playback, they had to use the x11 output plugin [06:31] <_Oz_> set horiz to 4, vertical to 2 [06:31] j_humphrey: The default setting within compiz is 2 even though w/o compiz on you have 4 [06:31] j_humphrey: if you get it to work and the video not to glitch i would be interested how you did it [06:31] pocketdrummer: for the cube, you need control + alt + click [06:31] j_humphrey: i cant get mine working [06:31] damn, it seems gdesklets has been abandoned [06:31] does anybody know why i get a /dev/md0 does not exist error after upgrading to 7.10 [06:32] how can i check if ubunutu makes cpu sclaing right_ [06:32] devnull: screenlets > gdesklets [06:32] any know why when i try do go in text mode nothing happen? [06:32] scaling [06:32] acee1235, ah, i think it will glicth [06:32] nickrud_: I, and acee1235 here, had hard crashes when doing anything that switched video mode at all: switch to console or... gasp... trying to logout [06:32] yeah? i will look into that [06:32] glitch*, it was doing it earlier [06:32] <_Oz_> you can also spin the cube by pressing down on your mousewheel while hovering over anywhere on the background, and flicking it around [06:32] how would i get dosbox to read a config file i stash somewhere? [06:32] devnull: install them from gnome-look [06:32] Is cube enabled in extra visual effects? [06:32] Ashnal, it has command line options. [06:32] <_Oz_> j_humphrey: did it work? [06:32] acee1235: you talking about video playback? set the video output to x11 instead of xv [06:32] i did [06:33] no luck [06:33] acee1235: the x1400? [06:33] <_Oz_> I'd give you better directions but I'm reinstalling the computer I had compiz running on [06:33] had to disable compoziting in the xorg [06:33] yes [06:33] devnull: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=73346 [06:33] acee1235: Flickering playback? Damn, sound EXACTLY like what I had going on b/f i replaced the ATI card... [06:33] rainwalker: thanks [06:33] When i try to do a suspend it wake automatically, this is a commond problem in ubuntu or is something worng with my configs? [06:33] <_Oz_> j_humphrey: I'll bet I can predict your next question if you got that working [06:34] acee1235: you can't use composite extension with the fglrx in ubuntu ... [06:34] cptnapalm: im going around the world this summer so my laptop might set...stolen [06:34] nickrud_: seems like it [06:34] acee1235: You should go to AMD and find the chip designer and beat them to death with it [06:35] got it working ... hacked my persistent network rules [06:35] !insurancefraud | acee1235 [06:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about insurancefraud - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:35] lol [06:35] acee1235: did you try using the xserver-xgl ? compiz works fine with that installed on most cards I've seen [06:35] How would I find out what kernel is best for my processor? Its an amd athlon(64) 3000+ [06:35] ? [06:35] nickrud_: were is that [06:35] badkitty: the generic one , unless you decide to custom compile [06:35] Dr_willis: ummm where is the default dosbox.conf file? [06:35] nickrud_: I tried using xserver-xgl and all it did was hose everything until I completely uninstalled it... [06:36] acee1235: sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl , log out and back in [06:36] nickrud_: Is there a benefit to compile the kernel? [06:36] Ashnal, i would guess in /etc somewhere. [06:36] cptnapalm: use a minimal xorg.conf. I'd recommend dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg in fact. [06:36] nickrud_: i can get compiz to work i just cant get compiz and video seems mutually exclusive dependent on the composite boolean [06:36] nickrud_: I just swapped out the ati for nvidia... heh [06:37] acee1235: do not use the composite boolean. No composite section at all in the xorg.conf [06:37] cptnapalm: Wow you get a hi five! [06:37] ? [06:37] Dr_willis: i already looked in there, i cant find it [06:37] ah [06:37] cptnapalm: Down with ATI . NVidia FTW! [06:37] acee1235: try this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg && sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl , log out and back in [06:37] <_Oz_> yeah, it's gotta be nvidia. [06:38] Ashnal, then make one? [06:38] Ashnal: ok do this find /etc -type f -name "dosbox.conf" -print [06:38] <_Oz_> their cards always work great and they're always compatible with everything. dunno how anyone would willingly get sucked into an ATI. [06:38] badkitty: built into my laptop, gotta make it work [06:38] could be an example one in the dosbox docs dir. [06:38] I'm having DHCP issues with my AR5007EG on ndiswrapper (Gutsy amd64 with a 64 bit windows driver). I know the driver and card are functional, because if I can chain reboot enough for, than it'll work, but otherwise, I'm fscked. Does anyone have experience with this? [06:38] Ashnal: I think that should find it if it is in the /etc directory [06:39] badkitty: Swapping video cards cured all manner of headaches... and AMD STILL has not fixed their damn drivers [06:39] rebooting [06:39] how come the screenlets.org web site hasn't been updated since 0.0.10 [06:39] nickrud_: So its better NOT to compile a new kernel unless I had to (especially for support reasons) [06:39] cptnapalm: i get zilc [06:39] rainwalker: Is cube enabled in the extra setting? [06:39] <_Oz_> dr_willis: one downside of this browser sync by google is that there's really no way to use your bookmarks at a public computer. got a solution for that one? [06:39] badkitty: absolutely. I haven't compiled one in a few years [06:40] cptnapalm: I've disliked ati since I knew they existed.. it all went downhill from my first experience with an all-in-wonder [06:40] _Oz_, Check the various web sites that can keep your bookmarks i guess. I dont use public coputers [06:40] Ashnal: Ok, I'm thinking that there isn't one there then heh [06:40] all-in-wonderwhythecrapitsnotworking! [06:40] _Oz_: I think del.icio.us would be better for that [06:40] Ashnal: did you install from Synaptic or apt or some such? [06:40] ok, so it didnt work [06:40] <_Oz_> what happened [06:40] hooray for crappy ati [06:40] cptnapalm: i installed using the add/remove feature [06:41] /usr/share/doc/dosbox/dosbox.conf.example.gz [06:41] _Oz_: del.icio.us has a really useful firefox plugin as well [06:41] I like the seemingly new plugin for firefox the speed-dial (surely a copy of operas speed dial) [06:41] <_Oz_> oh, you're using ATI? that does make it a bit more difficult [06:41] badkitty: One thing which puzzles me is how the hell they have some chips that work great, but others that are totally borked [06:41] <_Oz_> nickrud: thanks for the tip [06:41] <_Oz_> I'll check that out [06:41] _oz_ yeah, it does make it more difficult [06:41] Ashnal: ok good... give me a minute and I'll see if i remember how to do something [06:41] updatedb and locate - are handy tools. :) [06:41] ho would I install an app onto a server on which i don't have superuser permissions? I hear it's possible to put an app in my own ~/bin directory and run it from there [06:41] cptnapalm: yeah. I have an ATI here that works fine [06:41] how* [06:42] cptnapalm: Yah odd.. Do you know if ATI has the same kind of driver architecture that nvidia does IE. One driver for all cards (except GO?) [06:42] <_Oz_> j_humphrey: are you still seeing only a two sided panel when you rotate the 'cube'? [06:42] Jangari, you could compile the app as a user. and install it to your home dir. [06:42] linuxmercedes, are you on a mobility radien? [06:42] nope [06:42] I have a completely unrelated question to help me with my ubuntu server. I need to register a domain name, but every time I use godaddy, it doesn't release it to be registered again. Anyone got any decent registration services that allows complete control over nameservers? [06:43] LinuxMercedes: Had a laptop with an ATI was great. Have had 2 desktops with ATI which were aweful... :-/ [06:43] as long as i dont have virtual desktops, i think im fine [06:43] compiz is up testing video [06:43] how can i check if ubuntus cpu frequency handling [06:43] j_humphrey: I have a radeon of some sort in the desktop (I forget which one); Laptop is Trident Video Accelerator =[ [06:43] Does anyone know if cube is enabled on Extra mode? I tried ctrl+alt+left click and it does nothing. [06:43] how do i compile it, lame, as a user, Dr_willis? [06:43] or sox, even [06:43] download the source.. and assiming the compiler stuff is installed.. unpack it.. and start compiling. [06:43] demortes: What do you mean released again? You should be able to control nameservers of your domain through godaddy [06:44] pocketdrummer: you have to get advanced desktop settings [06:44] Right, but I want to have it released back to the domain pool if and when it expires [06:44] any one know how to open my own channel [06:44] I don't think great domains should be reserved for pointless ads [06:44] pocketdrummer: If you look under the controls it should tell you what keys are binded to it [06:44] compiling doesn't require superuser privileges? [06:44] hmm, out of beer... [06:44] ok video doesnt flicker but it has reduced fps and is lagged behind the sound [06:44] compiling doesnt, but systemwide installation does [06:45] when i switch between desktops (wheel up/down on desktop) it doesnt "flip" it looks like a cube, but i dont actually see a cube [06:45] Jangari, Badkitty: Thanks [06:45] Ashnal: I *think* that dpkg -S dosbox.conf should work [06:45] in fact it is recommended that programs not be compiled as root by most [06:45] j_humphrey: hold down the middle mouse button and move the mouse around. [06:45] wo [06:45] j_humphrey: did you check to see how many desktops (horizontal setting in ccsm) you have? [06:45] that works nickrud [06:45] cptnapalm: whatll that do? tell me where dosbox.conf is? [06:46] <_Oz_> is it a cube now, j-hump? [06:46] do not compile as root if at all possible.... If you do, you will get cooties and girls will not want to talk to you. [06:46] yeah [06:46] mm, the problem is that its a university owned server running redhat, and they won't allow us to install systemwide software that isn't supported by redhat, and they don't yet support the mp3 libraries for so [06:46] sox [06:46] You're running ubuntu, unless you make a lot of money, I doubt your in any state to talk to girls anyway [06:46] is there a way to zoom out? [06:46] j_humphrey: The normal ctrl-alt keys probably are not binded or something === nickrud_ is now known as nickrud [06:46] demortes, im running ubuntu, and im engaged :) [06:46] demortes: no way, ubuntu sounds so exotic [06:46] Ashnal: I don't have dosbox. That will tell dpkg to search for the packages that have dosbox.conf so should tell you where it installed it [06:46] <_Oz_> j-hump: I knew you'd ask that [06:47] exotic ~ erotic [06:47] <_Oz_> look under rotating cube in the compiz-config [06:47] <_Oz_> one of the options is "scale" [06:47] chubs730 I can see that, but not like to women :P [06:47] <_Oz_> zoom it to about 3.0 [06:47] <_Oz_> it'll start looking more like a cube [06:47] cptnapalm: so will this dpkg tell me where any app is installed? [06:47] Ashnal: it will tell you where a particular file is, if you installed it the normal way [06:48] demortes: "maynards-girl has quit ()" yeah guess not :/ [06:48] so anyone have a preferred place for domain registration? [06:48] Ashnal: dpkg -L shows where all the files get installed [06:48] rotating the cube with like 16 desktops is fun [06:48] nickrud: Damnit i forgot about the -L [06:48] it turns into a massive wheel, like a big block of parmesan [06:48] demortes: I've just used godaddy. Also if you go to brinkster.com (if you need hosting) they give you a domain name or two for free with the hosting [06:49] Ashnal /usr/share/doc/dosbox/dosbox.conf.example.gz [06:49] demortes: godaddy has been fine for me also [06:49] nickrud:thank you that will be soooo helpful as i never seem to be able to find program files since they seem to be scattered everywhere [06:49] I'm not liking Godaddy, because of them, I can't use the same domain name [06:49] Hello [06:49] Hello. [06:49] <_Oz_> Hello. [06:49] They fail to release the domain to a functional state [06:49] Hello. [06:49] Hi, I am trying to install madwifi to enable my wireless card, but I am encountering some difficulties. First off, can anyone help me to why my wireless device is coming up as eth1 instead of ath0 or wifi0? [06:49] Dr_willis: what were they thinking slapping it into /usr/share/doc.... [06:49] demortes: WHO [06:49] i went with 1and1, i didn't know any others and 1and1 were suggested to me, 6 bucks a year wasn't too bad i though [06:49] wow, compiz is so much better than aero [06:49] thought [06:49] I am having trouble with suspend/hibernate on Feisty. It used to work, but now it is not. [06:49] dunno [06:49] badkitty: godaddy. [06:50] I just need domain, not hosting. [06:50] demortes: I never had problems with them.. [06:50] cptnapalm, its an example config file. :) where else should it be. [06:50] cpTanis, dosbox can generate a conf file I belive from some command also.. [06:50] oops wrong nick :) [06:50] <_Oz_> badkitty [06:50] j_humphrey aer? [06:50] _Oz_: Geah [06:50] <_Oz_> how do I get twinview working again? [06:50] <_Oz_> there's a quick and easy way to get x-server [06:50] unfortunately, I have not been able to find any reason for why it does not work. [06:50] _Oz_: Let me get the link [06:50] <_Oz_> but I forgot it [06:50] demortes: why not just transfer the domain? [06:51] I no longer own it [06:51] Dr_willis: I've always hated example configs... I mean, ship the damn thing with something that at least barely works and put it in the right place... Where the hell is my pitchfork?!?! [06:51] :) [06:51] _Oz_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1773584 [06:51] And my ubuntuforums posts have not received any response. [06:51] Which is not unusual. [06:51] Mandos: well frequently when noone knows, they don't answer :-/ [06:52] cptnapalm, i found it. :) of course i also read the docs. :) [06:52] <_Oz_> aha [06:52] <_Oz_> that's it [06:52] cptnapalm: im with you, and i currently have no idea where to put this config file so that dosbox will load it at startup [06:52] I think twinview is a lame name.. especially because my two monitors barely look alike [06:52] <_Oz_> thank you, badkitty. I love that method -- so much easier. [06:52] Mandos: try looking in /var/log/syslog , around the time you suspend. You might find a clue there [06:52] Hey again, I am trying to install madwifi to enable my wireless card, but I am encountering some difficulties. First off, can anyone help me to why my wireless device is coming up as eth1 instead of ath0 or wifi0? [06:52] can someone help me . i'm trying to remove my old ubuntu partitions. I have it in the same hard drive that im running another partation with ubuntu [06:52] I've tried. [06:52] j: gparted? [06:52] _Oz_: It's one of those things you just need to get it working already you know? [06:52] Ashnal, dosbox man pages says in the current directory [06:52] Looking in /var/log/syslog. It doesn't say much. I am using uswsusp. It fails on "suspending consoles". === sp219 is now known as a [06:53] Ashnal: See, it is all about finding something, and editing it... it should not be about finding something, figure out where to put it and then figure out how the hell to get it to work at all [06:53] And then doesn't turn off the computer. [06:53] witepa: that depends on your hardware and how it is connected, mine is eth1 as well [06:53] That's for s2disk/s2both. === a is now known as s [06:53] _Oz_: Although I thought there was a graphical way to do that now ... [06:53] Dr_willis: the directory that the dosbox executable is in? [06:53] sp219 so its /dev/sda1 ext3 but then it has linux-swap as /dev/sda2 and then ext /dev/sda3 for the one im running now === Fyd4_ is now known as Fyda [06:53] Ashnal, the directory you RUN the program from [06:53] Mandos: ubuntu-users mail list, it has some smart people there. attach the relevant part of the syslog === s is now known as sp219 [06:53] sigma: when i try to do iwlist eth1 scan, i get eth1 no scan results [06:53] sigma: after installing madwifi [06:53] Ashnal, this lets you put a config file in each dos games dir. that gets used. [06:53] !netsplit [06:53] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [06:54] w00h00! [06:54] netsplit! [06:54] ooh, another netsplit [06:54] OK, I"ll try that. [06:54] freaky [06:54] hah, netsplit [06:54] cptnapalm, the fact its mentioned in the man page is hiding it eh. :) [06:54] Dr_willis: is it possible to have a global config file that loads when dosbox does? [06:54] Netsplit ftw [06:54] 01:54… These users have been split from #ubuntu: danopia`cat, b4ggi0, marko-_-_, Rabiddog, jughead, edward_, mjwolf, dirk__, xerophyt1, mrMister, kikr, maddler, sKy\, scr, Oktanouc, ParsiTux_, kilrae, SuperLag, Kwitschibo, jwisher, J4t, Slap_Stick, saxin, Rprp, Cirex, Virtuall, pherring, LumBuntu, popey, jlong, Keith_, snaregirl, opkg2s, Faust-C, netdefilr, morodock, insta, Johnny_5_elsewhe, eyyYo, Aloha, riotkittie, krim, emitchlpd, pram [06:54] heh [06:54] why does that happen anyway? [06:54] can someone help me . i'm trying to remove my old ubuntu partitions. I have it in the same hard drive that im running another partation with ubuntu [06:54] Ashnal, proberly. Id have to double check the man pages [06:54] meh, that ain't many [06:54] i want to delete the sda1 first one /dev/sda1 ext3 but then it has linux-swap as /dev/sda2 and then ext /dev/sda3 for the one im running now [06:54] Still, it failed for no reason. Lots of people have problems with nvidia and ATI, but I don't have those. [06:54] 58 [06:54] Dr_willis: Everything should go where it is supposed to go... [06:54] could have been 200 more [06:55] badkitty: one of the servers lost it's connection [06:55] ahh [06:55] j: that seems reasonable, what's the problem? [06:55] would that be a problem for linux swap ..messing up the [06:55] cptnapalm, it dosent need one :) so there for its going in the example dir. [06:55] sigma: when i try to do iwlist eth1 scan, i get eth1 no scan results [06:55] shouldn't be a problem for the swap, [06:55] Jangari want to delete the sda1 first one /dev/sda1 ext3 but then it has linux-swap as /dev/sda2 and then ext /dev/sda3 for the one im running now [06:55] ok, i did something and i have little fires on my window, what is that? [06:55] ubuntu-users is enormous-traffic. [06:55] Hmm. [06:56] i heard you the first two times, j [06:56] <_Oz_> what does "gksudo" mean anyway? Obviously I know what sudo does. [06:56] are there any good games that i can install on ubuntu? [06:56] <_Oz_> why the "gk"? [06:56] no dragon, none [06:56] never ever [06:56] dragon: Umm enemy-territory [06:56] what does clone output do? [06:56] fun is not permitted [06:56] !info rocksndiamonds [06:56] rocksndiamonds (source: rocksndiamonds): Arcade style game. In component multiverse, is extra. Version 3.2.3-3 (gutsy), package size 384 kB, installed size 1256 kB [06:56] <_Oz_> d o r k f a c e [06:56] Dr_willis: but it has to be in the directory from which you happen to be to run the program? that's sad... Hell even a totally incompetent n00Bz C learner can find out how to load from a default location... [06:56] thats a must get game. [06:56] :) [06:56] _Oz_: it's a gtk frontend to sudo [06:56] Hi all, I have a .tff file with a font that I really want to use. I tried searching google, but is it possible to convert .tff to .pcf, so konsole can understand it? [06:56] <_Oz_> why does it need a gtk front end? [06:57] Dr_willis: Ok maybe not one totally incompetent... I mean I don't know how to do it and I'm completely clueless heh [06:57] jangari so i can delete sda1 ext3 the old ubuntu partation .. but its mount point /media/sda1 would i run into problems if i remove it? [06:57] _Oz_: it help when runing gui tools like gedit [06:57] _Oz_: note that a lot of graphical administrative programs use it [06:57] so is there a website that has a list of good games? or do i just look up on google " linux games"? [06:57] jangari nvm what i said. [06:57] also i cant seem to get sound to work [06:57] OK thanks. [06:57] http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Dual_Boot_from_Windows_Bootloader_(NTLDR)_and_why [06:58] enjoy [06:58] I filed a launchpad bug. [06:58] <_Oz_> thanks, starnes and neil. [06:58] dragon:theres always emulators which are fun [06:58] We'll see if it gets any responses. [06:58] dragon: There was a list somewhere google best linux games... [06:58] cptnapalm, I WANT it to run from the current dir. that way when i cd to 'doom' and do 'dosbox' it auto runs that config file. which i set up to run doom., if i am in the warlords dir - i set it up to auto run warlords [06:58] oops sorry wrong channel [06:58] you should probably solicit advice from someone who knows what they're talking about, j, but i would assume that the numbering of the partition wouldn't change if you format an entire partition [06:58] dragon: You can also look into sourceforge [06:58] jangari is it ok if 1st partition is linux-swap and 2nd is ubutnut [06:58] dragon: But i think sudoku is fun!! [06:58] Dr_willis: Oh wait... its not a system config then? Its a per app thing? [06:58] so either google good linux games or use sourceforge? [06:58] i don't think it matters where they are, I have first partition swap, second data, third xp pro, fourth ext3 [06:59] Dr_willis: i launch dosbox itself, and then the game inside it [06:59] Jangari thank you [06:59] dragon: Try both! Use those firefox tabs!! [06:59] cptnapalm, it looks for a user made config, and in the current dir.. [06:59] J: it doesnt matter where ubuntu is installed as long as grub can point to it [06:59] Ashnal, you can set up a config to autorun the game if you wanted. [06:59] I'm going to google "bad linux games." [06:59] ok i'll try those thanks :) [06:59] Mandos: Great idea! [06:59] also, reformatting one partition, your first, won't renumber those after it, they're fixed spaces on the disk [06:59] Mandos: you need Blobwars :) [06:59] as far as emulaters go do you mean wine? cause i cant get it to work and i have tried lots of times [07:00] when you format it for another use, dataspace, say, it'll become the first partition [07:00] good linux game was xsoldier or something like that fun and hard [07:00] wine bites [07:00] It doesn't give me much. Just a bunch of bug reports. [07:00] Maybe if I google "terrible linux games" it will be more fruitful. [07:00] dragon: There are many games that run natively on linux.. give those a try... if you like FPS try enemy territory [07:00] why do you want bad games, Mandos? [07:00] wine is evil, it perpetuates non-free software [07:00] Dr_willis: i might want to explain what im trying to do i guess haha cause its not something typical, im actually trying to compile a dos game so i can play it...cause all i have is the source code....and i need to set something in the autoexec.bat to get it to compile, which i thought i could do through a config file [07:01] dragon: I think another popular one is called fortress??? [07:01] nickrud: Perhaps, but if you can run the stuff you need to run without windows --- is that so bad? [07:01] not so much non-free, nickrud, but closed-access, [07:01] Ashnal, compile a dos game under linux? Good Luck with that.. [07:01] .... just did a search for blob.... found: "Metal Blob Solid" ... wtf... [07:01] Dr_willis: it would seem to me a better way to do that would be to have it as essentially a script which you would toss in a personal bin so just call up whatever game you want to run by its name [07:01] what did you mean by emulater? you mean like zsnes? thats a cool emulater wounder if they have a linux ver of it [07:01] Dr_willis, no compile a dos game inside of dosbox [07:01] hello I have a question about an ltsp setup which uses nfs mounted home drive. Im confused about setup and also the use of ldap for authentication. Does anyone have experience with this? [07:01] Jangari: same thing. [07:01] nickrud: I'd rather have an app running in wine than a VM with Windows XP + app [07:01] cptnapalm, unless you need seperate configs for each game.. [07:01] okay, so you don't mean monetarily free [07:02] Jangari: Just because it amuses me. [07:02] does this room have some sort of webchat block on it? [07:02] Ashnal, that dosbox config file has autorun commands at the end of it. I guess ya could toss them in there. [07:02] Cpudan80: it's a political thing, so off topic ;) [07:02] Cpudan80: if possible yah.. xp in vm is the pits [07:02] nickrud: heh, alrighty [07:02] liektoolbox for linguists, free, but only availsble for pc or intel mac via crossover, and linux via wine [07:02] Ashnal, you got a compiler for dos appready eh? [07:02] Mandos: how about xmame? [07:02] Dr_willis: im trying to set the dos compiler up [07:02] Dr_willis: nope. See if was essentially a script, then you would change what options needed to be changed then name the script after the game. Calling the script would then call dosbox to run the dos game in the specially needed way. [07:03] where do you get widgets for the widget layer? [07:03] Installing it. [07:03] cptnapalm, this is linxu do whatever you want. You could alwyas set up whatever alias;s ytou want. :P [07:03] Dr_willis:and the environment variables need to be set in auutoexec.bat [07:03] It looks big. [07:03] Mr__: looks like it [07:03] you'll need to find the roms as well, Mandos [07:03] Starnestommy: y? [07:03] Ashnal, the dosbox config file has a auto run thing at the end that can do that. [07:03] Mr__: abuse [07:03] they can be a bit of a b|tch [07:03] <[MGR]Mikkel> Hi ... [07:04] Dr_willis: Of course I've now been talking out of my butt for half an hour about a program that I have never used so... Ignore me at your leisure :) [07:04] Dr_willis:yea thats what ive been trying to get at, however i dont know where to put the damn thing [07:04] <[MGR]Mikkel> I has Download the Script to my IRC Server! .. and i can not running it! its say : Fail: Cannot chdir(/home/server/lib): Permission denied, check DPATH <- I know dont no why? Please Help me! [07:04] cptnapalm, im about to. :) i 'cd warlords2' and run run dosbox. and it runs the game for me. I could make a 2 line script that just cd's and runs. if i wanted. [07:04] Starnestommy: can any sites get approval? [07:04] Dr_willis:so that when i run dosbox by itself it loads the config, allowing me to run the compiler afterwards inside [07:05] Ashnal, put the dosbov config in the dir with the dos game filea.. cd to the dos dir.. and run dosbox. [07:05] Mr__: you could probably ask the ops for an exception [07:05] Ashnal, you are making it WAY too hard. [07:05] Starnestommy: who are they? [07:05] can someone direct me to a page that lists portable mp3/movie players (like ipods) that work well with ubuntu? [07:05] Dr_willis: i cant just 'run' the game >_> [07:05] Mr__: /join #ubuntu-ops ? [07:05] Ashnal, you run dosbox. that gives you a shell. [07:05] Dr_willis: I remember writing scripts like that... but no one ever said you had to be in the particular directory to run the stuff so I'd be stupidly looking into dependency problems for a week... [07:06] you could then just make a script that sets up the commands if you wanted. [07:06] <[MGR]Mikkel> Hello all ... I need help i has Problem to Why Can i not Start the ircu up??? Fail: Cannot chdir(/home/server/lib): Permission denied, check DPATH [07:06] tich, they'll all work, it's just a matter fo finding out how [07:06] Hi there, my install of Beryl seems to be broken -- when I try to use it, I don't get any title-bars or borders on my windows. I read somewhere that to fix it, I need to recompile the fglrx kernel module, but it keeps failing saying it can't find a directory that I know exists. Can anyone help me out? [07:06] Ashnal: you have to compile DOS source code? [07:06] Jangari now there a error when i restarted [07:06] my ipod video 5.5, for instance, works better with ubuntu than it ever did on windows with itunes or anapod explorer [07:06] [MGR]Mikkel: does /home/server/lib exist? [07:06] cptnapalm: YES [07:06] star1: Are you using beryl or compiz-fusion? [07:06] what error, j, 17? [07:06] jangari it went to fsck [07:07] <[MGR]Mikkel> Starnestommy: Yes! i can see : the 1 File! [07:07] that isn't an error, [07:07] so /var/log/fsck [07:07] Jangari: but some might work better/easier than others... and some support open codecs. [07:07] [MGR]Mikkel: is it a file or a directory? [07:07] hi [07:07] <[MGR]Mikkel> a file! [07:07] cptnapalm: i need to compile DOS source into a DOS executable to be run in DOSbox [07:07] hi [07:07] cptnapalm, the man page for dosbox tells where it look for the config. :) current dir, then a users .dosboxrc or other ways. [07:07] <[MGR]Mikkel> example.conf <- [07:07] [MGR]Mikkel: it must be a directory [07:07] omg is this abunch of fellow ubuntuers?!?!?!! [07:07] hello. I'm having problems getting my usplash screen to work. It shows up as black (out of sync). I'm using Gutsy. [07:07] true, tich, i have the problem now of having a computer that can't encode to mp3 and a player that doesn't read ogg vorbis [07:07] Ashnal: what the hell... I don't think I ever thought that would be something anyone would ever need to do... Compile DOS source so can run a DOS emulator to run on Linux [07:07] <_Oz_> badkitty, do you remember how to get all the top taskbar stuff moved from the left monitor to the right one in twinview? [07:07] omg is this abunch of fellow ubuntuers?!?!?!! [07:07] omg is this abunch of fellow ubuntuers?!?!?!! [07:07] omg is this abunch of fellow ubuntuers?!?!?!! [07:07] unless i reinstall rockbox [07:08] hello? [07:08] jangari it isn;t an error? [07:08] Ashnal, so Put the code and compiler in a directory named "DosWork" cd to DosWork , run dosbox. IF thers a dosbox.conf in that dir. it will auto run that. [07:08] badkitty: I think I'm using Beryl, I installed it a while ago. If you think I should just get rid of Beryl and try to switch to Fusion, I'd appreciate any pointers, since I remember Beryl being a pain to get working to begin with [07:08] cptnapalm:well if i had a dos machine all would be dandy now wouldnt it? [07:08] <[MGR]Mikkel> Starnestommy: I dont no ... Its a File from ircu i has downloadet :) [07:08] file system check isn't necerrarily an error [07:08] guildman12: Nope... we are a whole different foreign Ubuntuers ;) [07:08] jangari fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'UUID=18ba4b11-4d98-485b-8461-675b5a08b271 fsck died with exit status 8 [07:08] did it boot after checking the file system? [07:08] Ashnal: If you had a compiler... maybe... [07:08] jangari how i resolve this or fix [07:08] [MGR]Mikkel: I think you probably installed it wrong [07:08] oh, that's an error [07:08] cptnapalm: i have the compiler [07:08] Hi. My RAM and page file (2GB and 1GB respectively) are both very full at the moment according to system monitor, but listing the processes doesn't show anything out of the ordinary. Anyone know a tool that will give me details of what is in RAM? Possibly some command line tool? [07:08] Jangari nope it tell me to ctrl d then its boot [07:08] <[MGR]Mikkel> Starnestommy: How can i Install it? i will not install on Root :S [07:08] has someone come across a wiki or forum that lists portable players that work well with ubuntu? [07:09] in grub, have a look at the boot line by pressing e twice (i think it's twice) [07:09] star1: Yes I would.. I would recommend upgrading to gutsy and installing compiz-fusion.. works way better than beryl [07:09] Hewus top [07:09] Jangari grub? [07:09] hang on, j [07:09] badkitty: I have gutsy, I just have beryl left-over [07:09] Jangari ok [07:09] that's the file system that you just reformatted, right? [07:09] star1: Oh you did a dist-upgrade? [07:09] why does running google earth crash x-server? [07:09] badkitty: Yes [07:09] I am having trouble getting madwifi to work with a Linksys Broadcom BCM4306 with Gutsy... can I get someone to help me please? [07:09] Ashnal: so have to run a DOS compiler under an emulator on linux to compile DOS code on Linux so can run a DOS emulator to run a game on Linux [07:09] hello? [07:09] hello? [07:09] hello? [07:09] hello? [07:09] hello? [07:09] hello? [07:09] guildman12: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:10] star1: Any chance you 'd want to reinstall? [07:10] <[MGR]Mikkel> Starnestommy: i are In the Here you can see : mikkel@server-desktop:~/snircd.12.10.1.3.4/ircd$ <- [07:10] cptnapalm: ty, worked perfectly. looks like it's compiz.real o_O [07:10] [MGR]Mikkel: I don't remember how ircu works, but I have worked with a few other ircds [07:10] Hewus: Color me unsurprised heh [07:10] Hewus: nvidia? [07:10] star1: It is so much easier now its a dream I had to reinstall yesterday, had everything up and customized in under 2 hours [07:10] Hewus: top can be sorted in different ways. Compiz can be... odd sometimes... heh [07:10] crdlb: yes. 7600GT nvidia [07:11] Hewus: how much video ram? [07:11] badkitty: I've been thinking about it, but having nightmares of getting it all set up (my first install was back with 6.04, I think). Glad to hear it's better [07:11] j: do what it asks for, press ctrl + D or whatever it is, i have a feeling that all that's happenes is your menu.lst thinks your old installation is still there, which it isn't, causing a fsch error [07:11] cptnapalm: yes I can see it bouncing around, not the top CPU process but it's definitely the memory hog [07:11] Hewus: the reason I ask is that the nvidia driver (only nvidia-glx-new) has a horrendous memory leak when using compiz (it causes compiz to appear to be leaking) [07:11] crdlb: 256MB [07:11] so when you boot, you just have to change the enu.lst to get rid of the line that pertains to the non-existent operating system [07:11] menu.lst* [07:12] Jangari is there any way i can get ride ? [07:12] ride? [07:12] star1: Yeah basically there is a restricted drivers manager in the GUI- the drivers are in the repos, all you gotta do is download the manager and enable the effects are your rockin [07:12] badkitty: Nice to hear [07:12] Jangari how? i'm new to this.. [07:12] crdlb: I've been running Guild Wars through Wine for >24h now so I'm not complaining too much, just was interested what was taking up the RAM since apparently it wasn't Wine itself [07:12] what is it asking of you now, j? [07:12] star1: Hardest part now is waiting for the liveCD to load .. [07:12] and a good night to all [07:13] <[MGR]Mikkel> Starnestommy: I can Running bircd <- its works! I has litte problem! i has Download The Script from One Site .. I can not running it? it say : Need mask :S [07:13] cptnapalm: Where you off too [07:13] crdlb: I just checked, yep I have nvidia-glx-new [07:13] badkitty: lalaland? [07:13] badkitty: I'll probably try and plan this out a little bit first, since I've always had to use the alternate CD in the past. I have an ATI Mobile Radeon that doesn't play well with the LiveCD [07:13] hello [07:13] cptnapalm: Ah you don't wanna go there, hang out with the boys for a while [07:13] badkitty: or if I've read too much Lovecraft lately, the Dreamlands [07:14] ok, so i got a network hub today, and i have this second computer i want to get going on the net, runs 7.10 and i want to make it able to log into an account on this computer instead of one on itself, but it doesnt even connect to the net, any suggestions? i could disable the onboard and use an adaptor instead maybe, i have a few /97 to /00 3com cards laying around...any suggestions? [07:14] anyone interested in purchasing an unlimited whm master reseller? [07:14] star1: OIC .. I haven't tried the new install with ati yet.. although I hear the support for ati is getting way better [07:14] Jangari how? how do i change menu.lst? "he line that pertains to the non-existent operating system" [07:14] j [07:14] !ot | rewer [07:14] rewer: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [07:14] what is it asking you to do right now? [07:14] nickrud_: you here? [07:14] cptnapalm: Ok well ttyl mang [07:14] acee1234: yep [07:14] badkitty: night :) [07:15] Jangari nothing right now [07:15] has it booted up? [07:15] Jangari ya [07:15] <_Oz_> badkitty, do you remember how to get all the top taskbar stuff moved from the left monitor to the right one in twinview? [07:15] if it helps the hub is a 4 port one for 16.99CDN at best buy [07:15] if so, open a terminal, type "sudo pico /boot/grub/menu.lst" [07:15] _Oz_: Drag it over there [07:15] nickrud_: that got compiz working and i can restart x now without freezing but google earth now crashes x and video playback has major fps loss and lag [07:16] Hewus: with 256MB of vram, it shouldn't be too bad, but it makes compiz unusable on weaker nvidia cards [07:16] badkitty: Yeah, I hope so. It's no big deal anymore, I've done it a few times so I have the hang of it. I usually just end up manually grabbing the fglrx drivers from the repos' via http beforehand (since I'm at a Uni where I have to log in to use the net), and then I'm good to go [07:16] Jangari ok. what am i'm looking for? [07:16] Does anyone know of a way to log out another user, so I can use the 'deluser' function? [07:16] scroll down until you get to a bunch of lines that don't begin with # [07:16] star1: Cool. Yah it will be so much better once you upgrade [07:16] what does update-initramfs do? [07:17] ähm [07:17] acee1234: the screwed up part about using xserver-xgl is it screws up other apps use of direct rendering, that's the issue with google earth I'd bet but if crdlb is around still, he understands this stuff way better than I do [07:17] crdlb: yes it's usable, even now. It will be due to the fact I've been running a heavy 3D app in Wine for an extended period of time. I'll restart when I can be bothered, since it's not causing me any direct problems. [07:17] Jangari # end default options # rite? [07:17] they shoudl say stuff like "title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic" [07:17] badkitty: Can't wait! I'm going to go start planning a little bit and getting organized -- thanks for the help! With any luck I'll be up and running by later tonight. [07:17] yeah, after that 'end default options' bit [07:17] Jangari roger . I am looking rite now [07:17] a [07:17] pastebin the rest [07:17] star1: Great goodluck! [07:17] !pastebin | j [07:17] j: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [07:18] crdlb: you around tonight? [07:18] badkitty: Thanks, cya! [07:18] whats the difference between 2.6.22-14-386 and 2.6.22-14-generic [07:18] Does anyone know of a way to log out another user, so I can use the 'deluser' function? [07:18] acee1234: Xgl does cause issues with running oepngl apps and video playback, there isn't too much you can do about it :/ [07:18] fvcked if i know [07:19] mooseman447: -386 is for really old computers (actual i386s); -generic is for everything else [07:19] crdlb: ok if i give up my compiz aspirations what can i do to get things back in order? [07:19] hey all. im on ubuntu 7.10. i have a question about movie files. how do i STOP them from having the preview of them as an icon. the feature takes up to much cpu/time. [07:19] acee1234: the only way I've gotten useful video in compiz is to use the x11 output module in vlc [07:20] acee1234: uninstall xserver-xgl or touch ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable [07:20] Jangari http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55444/ [07:20] crdlb i just had an issue upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10 and followed this bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/128313 so i should boot into -generic? [07:21] Does anyone know of a way to log out another user, so I can use the 'deluser' function? [07:21] sp219, kill all the users processes [07:21] Jangari http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55444/ [07:21] mooseman447: yes, you should use -generic [07:22] j did you accidentally paste it twice? or does your menu.lst contain the same lines twice? [07:22] "sudo apt-get remove xserver-xgl" [07:22] restarting x [07:22] crdlb how do i make -generic the default because grub seems to boot -386 unless i stop it [07:22] Jangari wopps [07:22] Jangari sorry [07:23] mooseman447: uninstalling the -386 image is one way [07:23] crdlb i just tried booting to -generic and it said i was in low graphics mode [07:23] Jangari http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55445/ [07:23] is that it, j? there were no other operating systems listed? [07:24] mooseman447: make sure you have the 'linux-generic' package installed so that you have the right linux-restricted-modules installed for that kernel [07:24] hey all. im on ubuntu 7.10. i have a question about movie files. how do i STOP them from having the preview of them as an icon. the feature takes up to much cpu/time. [07:24] oh, that's what i'm looking for [07:24] <_Oz_> yep you were right badkitty [07:24] <_Oz_> just needed to drag it [07:25] <_Oz_> heh [07:25] zgmf-x20a: in the file browser, edit->prefs preview tab [07:25] _Oz_: whats that? [07:25] _Oz_: Oh hehe [07:25] Jangari thats what i have only ubuntu [07:26] Jangari thats what i have only ubuntu [07:26] crdlb: ok other than not being able to restart x without hard boot things work [07:26] no, i actually was after that last one, [07:26] Jangari thats what i have removed my 1st partiton from [07:26] nickrud: AHHHHH thats where it is! thank you!! ^_^ [07:26] that's the partition that you just reformatted [07:26] right, it's also the one throwing up the error message: fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'UUID=18ba4b11-4d98-485b-8461-675b5a08b271 fsck died with exit status 8 [07:27] same uuid [07:27] Say I unzipped something, How would I install it? [07:27] Jangari http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55446/ [07:27] Jangari so what should i do? [07:27] iDivine: depends whats inside [07:27] I would like to change my screen resolution from 50Hz to 60 Hz but I couldn't find any option. How should I go about it? [07:28] Jangari: that error gets thrown up from /etc/fstab [07:28] I downloaded something random, Like a MUD client thingy? IDK, Just wondering, how do I install it. [07:28] crdlb i know this is weird but why does it seem the ubuntu boot splash is lower res then usual? [07:28] can someone tell me why when i try to update it says index is broken? [07:28] iDivine: but what kind of file was in the zip when you unzipped it [07:29] Yeah. [07:29] mooseman447: no idea, something is apparently different in the grub line for the -generic kernel [07:29] macogw, Yes [07:29] nickrud: s/he has an old installation in the menu.lst for a partition that has since been reformatted, that's why the fsch error is coming up [07:29] iDivine: that was a question [07:29] i suppose [07:29] I would like to change my screen resolution from 50Hz to 60 Hz but I couldn't find any option. How should I go about it? [07:29] Jangari ya [07:29] crdlb i looked but i didnt see anything but i did the update-initramfs from the 7.10 live cd though [07:29] It was zipped. [07:29] Jangari: that's for the boot, the fsck at boot is run against /etc/fstab listed partitions iirc [07:29] Then I unzipped it, and now it's in a folder. [07:30] im gonna go off to the land of the ethereal for a bit good night and thank you [07:30] what does iirc stand for? [07:30] iDivine: and what's in it? [07:30] can someone tell me why when i try to update it says index is broken? [07:30] Jangari: if i recall correctly [07:30] Roy: nvidia? [07:30] ah [07:30] crdlb: Yes, Nvidia [07:30] hello, I'd like to automate some things in ubuntu. is it possible to send text to specified fields on several webpages? [07:30] iDivine: a .run? .sh? .deb? [07:30] Hey there my sound card isn't working under ubuntu 7.10. It's a Visi Qsound. Thunderbird 128. (x wave) I can't find helpful google results. [07:30] doc folder, plugins [07:30] No run, no sh, no deb [07:30] well to be neat, j should probably remove those lines from both the menu.lst and the fstab, right? [07:30] Roy: don't worry about it, the nvidia driver lies about the refreshrate [07:30] Can someone tell me how to cd in windows commnad to C:/program files [07:30] Oh! [07:30] Can't I do it in a terminal? [07:31] MrSiebel: you use cd... [07:31] iDivine: yes [07:31] ac1dfr33z3: put the complete output from sudo apt-get update in a terminal to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [07:31] crdlb: Thanks :) [07:31] Roy: if you want it to report your actual refresh rate, disable dynamic twinview, and you can see your actual refresh rate in nvidia-settings now [07:31] I know but cd won't take "C:/Program Files" to be valid [07:31] What's the command, thingy ;D! [07:31] iDivine: are there a bunch of files in the directory or just one? [07:31] Files, in the folder. [07:31] Bunch. [07:31] Can anyone help find why my sound card works in windows and not ubuntu? [07:31] MrSiebel: windows is stupid. it uses backslashes. [07:31] Jangari i'm listening. which those lines? [07:31] My top bar with the minimize/maximize/close is gone, how did i do that? [07:31] iDivine: is one named "configure"? [07:31] it's really only an aesthetic issue though, it's throwing up an error only because it can't see an operating system that isn't there anymore, and for good reason [07:32] config.rpath [07:32] config.h.in [07:32] before you do anything j, i want to get support from one of the more knowledgeable people here, [07:32] iDivine: is there one that's *just* "configure"? [07:32] WAIT, there is a INSTALLsh [07:32] I know it is macogw, I'm trying to install vmware and I cant change the dir to c:/Program Files [07:32] iDivine: or maybe one called "autogen"? [07:32] install-sh [07:32] Jangari: have him show you his /etc/fstab [07:32] iDivine: oh ok use that [07:32] iDivine: sudo ./INSTALL.sh [07:33] iDivine: or whatever...it's case sensitive, put ./ at the front of it [07:33] j, open another teminal, type gedit "/etc/fstab" copy the whole thing and pastbin it [07:33] crdlb i think i install the 386 image with a live cd so apt-get didnt remove it but is it alright if i just remove the lines for it from my menu.lst manually? [07:33] k [07:33] ohhh, random software installed willy nilly, I love it :) [07:33] blunted: run this command: "lspci | grep audio" and then google your specific sound card model to see if anyone else has any problems with it (or rather -- solutions to those problems) [07:33] MrSiebel, with space sin the file name you need to quote the thing. [07:33] MrSiebel, cd "program files" [07:33] <_Oz_> what's the alternative to automatix, again? [07:33] gedit, simply because i don't want you to accidentally put in line breaks, which can be disasterous [07:33] blunted: ...in a terminal, that is [07:33] and pico tends to do that [07:33] <_Oz_> something that lets me download the restricted stuff? [07:33] _Oz_, use medibuntu repos [07:34] !medibuntu | _Oz_ [07:34] _Oz_: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [07:34] _Oz_: ubuntu-restricted-extras is in Applications -> Add/Remove [07:34] mooseman447: yes, but be sure to read the comments at the top of the file to see how to do it properly [07:34] hmm, bugger [07:34] the ubuntu-restricted-extras installs some standard stuff you proberly want. Not from the mediabuntu repos however. :) [07:34] oh well, his/her system isn't in danger or anthing [07:34] is it possible to have a script that runs for all users in a certaint GID? [07:34] just untidy [07:34] Jangari: you're right about that [07:34] it's not .sh it's -sh for some reason. [07:35] And it said' command not found'. [07:35] and s/he may have issues with grub/fstab later when reformatting that partition to be something useful [07:35] iDivine: are you in the same directory as the installer file? [07:35] oh, he back [07:35] ynef: THe results are: 02:09.0 Multimedia audio controller: VLSI Technology Inc QSound ThunderBird PCI Audio (rev 19) . Thats more than 10 words. Could you please recommend a google search term? [07:35] yes. uuid's complicate things to make things simpler ;) [07:35] No, how Would I do that? [07:35] hi [07:35] jangari http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55448/ [07:36] is there a script that runs anytime someone logs in [07:36] <_Oz_> thanks [07:36] blunted: "QSound ThunderBird" ubuntu [07:36] <_Oz_> medibuntu [07:36] <_Oz_> should have remembered that [07:36] <_Oz_> memory is going [07:36] I don't have /etc/inittab on gutsy. are you ? [07:36] ynef: Thanks [07:36] j, close the terminal with the menu.lst, just to be safe, don't edit it at all [07:36] sputnick: replaced by /etc/event.d [07:36] Macogw, No, how Would I do that? [07:36] thanks nickrud [07:36] jangari http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55448/ ok [07:36] mkbernard:just copy one in /usr/bin, and add the script in /etc/profile [07:37] iDivine: cd to wherever it is [07:37] yep, there's that sda1 line, [07:37] iDivine: if you type "ls" you can get a listing of what's where you are [07:37] anyone alive in here that can help me out? [07:37] Macogw, K. [07:37] suppose so =p [07:37] jangmunho: /etc/profile runs at every login correct? [07:37] dialup: there's /always/ people here [07:38] dialup: the channels a little low tonight actually [07:38] dialup: define 'alive' [07:38] i just downloaded ubuntu 7.10 twice, checked md5, passed, checked cd integrity, passed...but every time i start / install, soon as it starts initiallizing the GUI it goes to some text screen [07:38] blunted: ...and googling like that, it seems like a hard-to-solve problem :-( [07:38] mkbernard: yes... [07:38] but doesnt do anything more [07:38] it is 3am in the USA :) [07:38] ynef: that's what I saw too [07:38] Dr_willis: you don't live in the usa, you live on the east coast [07:38] macogw, I seem to see desktop, But the cd /desktop doesn't seem not to work? [07:38] dialup: did you try safe graphics mode [07:39] not yet [07:39] jangmunho: thanks a bunch! [07:39] iDivine: case sensitive [07:39] iDivine: cd ~/Desktop [07:39] actually im In Indiana [07:39] blunted: can you try something for me? just write "alsamixer" in a terminal -- what happens? [07:39] mkbernard: wait [07:39] Guys off hand, does any one know if you say, run a chan limit bot; and a netsplit occurs; and the bots drops limit in lieu of netsplit.. Will the server force the people to rejoin or will it bump heads with the chan limit? [07:39] Any one know off hand? [07:39] one of those counties that doesn't change the time? [07:39] iDivine: oh yeah and your home drive is in /home/you/ so putting /desktop would be way different than /home/you/Desktop/ [07:40] nickrud, we have some Counties in this state that change,, and some that dont.. and some that change the other way.... [07:40] ill try doing the safe mode option [07:40] brb [07:40] nickrud, you dont want to know the details of that.. heh. :) [07:40] Oooooh/ [07:40] Dr_willis: yeah, I could never keep them straight [07:40] So, what would be the whole code? [07:40] Dr_willis: dont some of the counties just change time zones? [07:40] some change time 'zones' so they dont change times... [07:40] thei never touch their clocks. [07:40] jangmunho: whats up? [07:40] Dr_willis: I've learned to ask people in indiana to tell me, not the time to call but +hours to call :) [07:41] ynef: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device [07:41] Just try if that works for X. I know it works for shell. (It should works..) [07:41] blunted: figured as much :-( [07:41] jangari so any clue what should i remove or edit? [07:42] Привет [07:42] what are some fun things to do with a home network? [07:42] !ru [07:42] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [07:42] !ru | Alexander [07:42] Alexander: please see above [07:42] jangmunho: does it only launch when you open a term/con or does it run at login regardless? [07:42] what would be the best fs for storing 700mb~ files [07:42] thechitowncubs, use xming on a windows box.. so you can see apps runnin gon your linux box under windows. :) [07:42] thechitowncubs: media server but offtopic here [07:43] tmpfs XD [07:43] loa: you are evil ;0 [07:43] )) [07:43] haha i don't think i have enough ram [07:44] ash_: any would do, I think I read somewhere that xfs is good for large files, you might want to check tat [07:44] i was thinking XFS [07:44] ohh sweet [07:44] yes [07:44] xfs good for many small files [07:45] what defines small lol [07:45] for example file sharing hostings [07:45] picture hosting [07:45] What is the function of kacpid? It seems not to be documented in the kernel documentation. [07:45] ahh, i just wanna store some cd images and what not and access the fast. [07:45] i had ext3 for a small group of drives with about 5.5t with full journaling [07:45] iDivine: by the way, you can type the first couple letters of file or directory names and hit tab, and itll fill in the rest, so you can avoid tedious copying [07:45] nothing on the drive will be under 600mb [07:46] Cool, thanks. [07:46] jangari are you there [07:47] anyone using Synergy? [07:47] j he seems to have left for the moment. I see from your pastebin that you still have sda1 listed there from before your reformatting. Did you set up a file system on sda1 yet? [07:47] mkbernard: what command do you wanna run when login? [07:48] badkitty: Hey, we just talked about reinstalling Ubuntu a few minutes ago. Apparently, the LiveCD now works great with my computer -- it's got a GUI and the internet's working fine. Only thing is, I was wondering if you could help me figure out which disk Ubuntu thinks is hd0, and which it thinks is hd1. Weird, I know, but it's important. Any help? [07:48] jangmuno: a pl, but only for certain gid [07:48] starked: are they different in size? [07:48] nemilar: Yes [07:49] nemilar: I just don't know where exactly to list them [07:49] nickrud ok . /dev/sda1 is remove it suppose to be old partition off ubuntu , 2nd is /dev/sda2 with linux-swap then /dev/sda3 which i'm runnning right now [07:49] Ew, Thug-Life ;P [07:49] starked: if they're mounted, run 'df -h' in a terminal and it will tell you the sizes [07:50] mkbernard: certain gid? so you should try to place the command in a .bashrc file rather /etc/profile, because that works for everyone, not certain gid... [07:50] starked: if not, fdisk -l [07:50] nickrud i want to resolve this quickly b/c it pass my bed time . [07:50] starked: whichever its calling sda should be hd0 [07:50] starked: sure, try this: open a terminal (it's in applications, accessories or something like that) and type "cd /media" then "mkdir test" then "sudo mount /dev/sda0 test" then "ls test" to see what wound up there -- when you've established what the contents is, write "sudo umount test" [07:50] j to get rid of the error about fsck, you would comment out (put a # at the beginning of line 8 [07:50] sorry j, had a little business to attend to [07:50] starked: and if they're not mounted, fdisk -l will also tell you [07:51] starked: it wont tell you in sensible numbers, but bigger number of cylinders = bigger disk [07:51] jangmunho: i can have the script check to make sure its the correct gid (id -u) but i just need to know whether /etc/profile runs only when a term/con is opened or at actual login [07:51] and looks like nickrud has it sorted [07:51] nickrud, Jangari line 8 [07:51] nemilar, macogw, ynef: Thanks for all of that, I just wanted to be sure that sda was always hd0. Last time something weird happened and GRUB got installed on my external hard drive [07:51] mkbernard: only on login shells [07:51] nemilar, macogw, ynef: So thank you, that's all I needed -- bye! [07:51] nickrud, Jangari line 8 ???/ [07:51] mkbernard: /etc/bash.bashrc for interactive (non-login) shells [07:52] yep, line 8 in the fstab, the one that starts UUID=18ba4b11 [07:52] starked: ah, ok -- are you running some sort of RAID? that might fuck it up too [07:52] meliar: what do you mean login/non-login shells? [07:52] j in a terminal, type: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab , and put a # at the beginning of the line that has UUID=18ba4b11-4d98-485b-8461-675b5a08b271 /media/sda1 in it. (line 8 of the pastebin) [07:52] nickrud, Jangari not the menu.lst [07:52] put a # so that it reads: #UUID=18ba4b11-4d98-485b-8461-675b5a08b271 /media/sda1 ext3 defaults 0 2 [07:52] ynef: No, it was probably something I did that did it, not Ubuntu's fault. I had kind of a weird install [07:52] j no, that's another issue [07:52] mkbernard: opening a new terminal doesn't necessarily count as a login [07:52] we'll get to the menu.lst soon [07:52] starked: ok then :-) well, best of luck on this attempt :-) [07:53] ynef: Thanks :) [07:53] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg only changes /etc/X11/xorg.conf right? [07:53] mooseman447: yes [07:53] mkbernard: Just have a try, use a command (like mkdir) to see if you have the new folder when you login. (Sorry that i've not tried that before.) [07:53] namilar: exactly. all i want is a script to run one time, each time any user logs in [07:53] in fact you needn't necessarily bother about the menu.lst, but for elegance, best to remove superfluous lines [07:54] nemilar: i already have the script, i just need to set it to run, and i need to know which file should point to it [07:54] mkbernard: /etc/profile only runs on logins [07:54] j as Jangari says, it's a nicety to fix up grub. When you're done with editing /etc/fstab , run sudo update-grub , that will fix it up nicely [07:54] nemilar: does that per chance also catch ssh logs? [07:54] mkbernard: but if a user does 'sudo -i' it will simulate a login shell, as well (and run /etc/profile) [07:54] nickrud, Jangari http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55449/ [07:54] mkbernard: sshing is logging in, yeah [07:55] that's what you want, j [07:55] nemilar: is it so sudo will exec my script also? [07:55] How would I install ubuntu on a laptop with no CD drive? I have a protege M200 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/ToshibaPortegeM200 [07:55] j perfect [07:55] nickrud: will update-grub fix menu.lst based on fstab?

[07:56] mkbernard: correct [07:56] j looks good [07:56] starked: the weird thing was probably that you had the external set to boot first and so it was considered hd0 by the bios even though its sdb by virtue of being external [07:56] nickrud, Jangari swwweeet [07:56] nemilar: is it possible to check for the owner of the shell process to make sure its not forked from sudo? [07:56] better paste for us the main lines of the menu.lst, to be sure [07:56] mkbernard: from inside the process, you can do 'whoami' [07:56] oh nickrud, right, that's good to know [07:56] nickrud, Jangari So if i restart it would run normally [07:57] try it, j, can't do any harm [07:57] j Jangari is right, it won't hurt to pastebin the /boot/grub/menu.lst first [07:57] Interesting -- the installer just failed. All right, well maybe I can get some general help, then. I'm running from a LiveCD, because I want to reinstall Ubuntu (6.04, I messed it up with Beryl and old ATI drivers). Anyways, I have a laptop with Vista installed on the internal, 120GB hard drive, and I'm wanting to install Ubuntu on my 500GB external USB hard drive. Specifically, I currently have it so that the first 430GB or so are a "data" p [07:57] mkbernard: I don't really understand the question.. you want to make sure that a shell doesn't start as root because of your changes in /etc/profile? that's not something you really have to worry about (unless you're doing something insane) [07:57] but yes, pastebin us the grub first [07:58] nemilar: no no, you just mentioned the sudo -i thing, and i was thinking about a workaround [07:58] nemilar: in truth its not really that big of a deal [07:58] holy sh|t, someone without any background knowledge of this room, pastebin, ubuntu, etc., would have serious trouble parsing that last sentence [07:58] mkbernard: ahh I see [07:58] nemilar: its just a login script, a basic one at that [07:58] How do I set up Emerald as my main window manager? [07:58] its installed, I just need to switch to it [07:59] Basically what I want to do is delete the old root in the manual partitioner to make it "free space," and then install my new root in the same spot, but with a wiped filesystem. Any idea? [07:59] mkbernard: sounds like /etc/profile is what you want [07:59] nickrud, Jangari http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55451/ ^_^ [07:59] nemilar: perfect [07:59] hmm, it's still there [08:00] j it didn't remove those stanzas because they are below the END AUTOMAGIC line [08:00] nemilar: i can use id -u from the script to check the GID correct? [08:00] Jangari: hehe isnt that how most geek jargon works? [08:00] i suppose so [08:00] nickrud, Jangari .... [08:00] nemilar: eventually the script /should/ only run for a particular set of GID [08:01] sigma: for use with gnome or on its own? [08:01] macogw: i remember reading a lengthy blog post about someone attempting to parse the term "won't fixing" [08:01] sigma: with gnome [08:01] j gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst , and remove those lines [08:01] er... [08:01] sigma: oops i read that as enlightenment [08:01] macogw: with gnome [08:01] dude... [08:01] yeah, you confused me now [08:01] mkbernard: well, if you run 'id -u' from inside /etc/profile, it's going to come back with 0, because it's run as root [08:01] j, did you actually reformat that partition? [08:01] nickrud, Jangari which lines? [08:01] anyways, any idea? [08:01] does anybody know why my ubuntu 7.10 boot splash seems very slow res [08:01] sigma: umm anyway, emerald is the window decorator. the window manager would be compiz or beryl [08:01] nickrud, jangari ok . /dev/sda1 recently removed it suppose to be old partition off ubuntu , 2nd is /dev/sda2 with linux-swap then /dev/sda3 which i'm runnning right now [08:02] j all the lines below ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST [08:02] sigma: are you using it with compiz or beryl, then? [08:02] mkbernard: ahh actually nevermind that, my bad [08:02] macogw: yes, window decorator, sorry [08:02] When I try to set it up as described above, it says: File system doesn't have expected sizes for Windows to like it. Cluster size is 2k (1k expected); number of clusters is 28034 (55960 expected); size of FATs is 110 sectors (219 expected). [08:02] nemilar: execed by user? [08:02] mkbernard: it will give the gid of the user, not root, just ignore I said that [08:02] and yes, with compiz [08:02] nickrud, jangari including "### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST"? [08:02] j no, keep that one [08:02] nemilar: yay! then im in good shape [08:02] sigma: does compiz keep reverting to gtk window decorator? [08:02] j, this is what you should be left with: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55452/ [08:02] nemilar: you have been a world of help, thank you so much [08:02] sigma: do you have the compizconfig settings manager (ccsm) installed? [08:03] mkbernard: :) no problem [08:03] nemilar: see ya around [08:03] peace [08:03] sigma: of course as i reach for the panel to open it up i realize i dont have compiz on this computer... [08:03] macogw: I have the ccsm installed, I installed Emerald, I just dunno how to activate it [08:03] When I get past the partition screen and move on to the actual install, I get "The ext3 file system creation in partition #5 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sdb) failed." [08:03] aand that sucks :P [08:03] Dr_willis: hah! I got it to start compiling in dosbox [08:03] Any help? [08:03] sigma: in the window management settings, think there should be an option for it [08:04] sigma: alt-f2 emerald --replace [08:04] sigma: otherwise in "general" a part about what to auto-run when compiz loads? put in "emerald --replace" [08:04] nickrud, jangari do i need do a special key to save or exit? [08:04] oh, you're in gedit, right? [08:04] j no, just use the file->save [08:04] woohoo! [08:04] thanks [08:04] j or ctl-s , that saves also [08:04] just to have it at hand, just in case... how do I revert? [08:05] sigma: gtk-window-decorator --replace [08:05] i don't think gedit will let you save a file system file [08:05] nickrud, jangari but i doing this in termenial? [08:05] macogw: thanks [08:05] oh, you are? [08:05] sigma: this just means i play with compiz settings too often, you know [08:06] if you're using pico, press ctrl+x, it'll prompt you to save changes, press 'y'(es) [08:06] nickrud, jangari how do i fix this in txt [08:06] hello all. [08:06] j you should have run the command I gave you in the terminal, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst . That opens in a gui text editor (gedit by name) , then you edit and save with file->save [08:06] Im on a windows box right now [08:06] Anybody have any ideas about the above? I've basically got no idea what to do here. [08:06] sigma: for 2 weeks ive been using fluxbox, not compiz, because im on an old lappy [08:06] Im trying to install Ubuntu [08:06] starked: It seems that we donnot actually understand the question (too long) ^_^ [08:06] and Im having an issue [08:06] nickrud, jangari DONE [08:06] Devoust: explain the issue, please [08:06] macogw: fluxbox is nice for when you really need to concentrate.... its perfect for those long all-nighters doing 10 page essays [08:06] JangMunho: Basically, it won't let me get rid of my old ext3 root filesystem and replace it with a new one [08:06] past it again [08:07] nickrud, jangari should i restart my computer to double check [08:07] paste* [08:07] I want to do a dual boot with windows aswell..and when I load off the cd I run the installer [08:07] I dont know what to do when it loads the partitioner [08:07] hello mates , anyone succeeded in using www.chinswing.com with linux ? [08:07] j pastebin both menu.lst and /etc/fstab , just for certaintly [08:07] starked: so what software did you use for partition operation? [08:07] kmg still there? [08:07] *certainty [08:08] nickrud, jangari http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55453/ [08:08] Devoust: dont use the manual partitioner. there should be an option to use the unused space on the drive for ubuntu instead of doing manual partitioning [08:08] JangMunho: I'm using the partition manager built into the installer for the Ubuntu 7.10 install CD [08:08] yeah theres one that says Guided [08:08] Devoust: if you *want* to use it, i can explain it, but if you just want a basic dual boot, you dont need it [08:08] nickrud, jangari http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55454/ [08:08] but on that aspect aswell I have windows in that space as I have no other partitions [08:08] will is create one for itself [08:08] or will it overwrite what I already have on that drive? [08:08] j good to boot [08:09] Devoust: itd shrink the windows partition and use the empty space to put an ubuntu partition [08:09] starked: donnot use the partition manager in the installation wizard, just try system->management->gparted [08:09] Morning all, anyone here good with mounting drives and fstab? I'm having a hell of a time mounting an sd card on my laptop. [08:09] nickrud, jangari alright i restart and let u guys now if it runs normal [08:09] nickrud, jangari thanks [08:09] * nickrud goes to hide [08:09] :) [08:10] The most bizarre thing. I have both kde and gnome. when I logged into this channel while using kde it showed only 40 users, no I'm back in gnome and there are 1099 users [08:10] nemilar: one more question, is it possible to remotely log a user our? should i just do a pkill -15 -u /uer/ [08:10] thats because gnome is more popular [08:10] JangMunho: So if I get rid of my two partitions, it should automatically add a new option in the installer to let me use the free space, right? [08:10] ;) [08:10] mkbernard: you can just kill their login [08:10] nemilar: log a user* out [08:11] nemilar: whats the easiest way to kill their login? pkill -u /user/ ? [08:11] Grandpajoe you mean the IRC channel actually detects whether I'm using kde or gnome?? [08:11] russ: it can't [08:11] mkbernard: yeah I suppose that works, it'll kill all their processes though, I think [08:11] russ: most of us have our clients set to hide from kde apps [08:11] with those grub options, he probably has to wait a full ten second before it boots, [08:12] nickrud why, don't you like kde apps? [08:12] with only one OS, i'd enable hiddenmenu [08:12] anyone using ubuntu ultimate? === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [08:12] nemilar: is their a safer way? [08:12] starked: not option, but you should have a window in which you can make new partition very easy (like pqmagic) [08:12] russ: it was a joke, can't be done :) [08:12] j, any issues? [08:12] JangMunho: Ok, thanks [08:13] nickrud so far I think I like gnome better. kde is too much like windows [08:13] Easy Partitioning: GParted: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ [08:13] starked: Just try gparted, you will like it... [08:13] Jangari it run perfectly ._. [08:13] Jangari thank you ^_^ [08:13] good [08:13] fdisk is so nice for partitioning [08:13] no worries, [08:13] JangMunho: I've used it before, I'm just afraid I'm going to kill my hard-drive, :P [08:13] <_Oz_> yeah, I'd have to say gnome is a tad better than kde [08:13] Jangari j *hugs* Jangari [08:14] ha [08:14] russ: for me, I used gnome to learn compiling and how linux is put together, I've just stuck with it through inertia [08:14] <_Oz_> plus, since it is the most common desktop, everything works in it [08:14] Jangari alright thanks now i can finally get some sleep . night [08:14] night [08:14] starked: So you mean gparted failed to make a new partition? [08:14] and i can get some dinner [08:14] <_Oz_> question, speaking of file systems: if you were going to download some desktop wallpapers and wanted to store them permanently, where would you create the directory to put them? [08:14] * Jangari saunters out for food [08:14] hi. this is weird: /dev/sda8 on /media/sdb8 type ext3 (rw). why is my sdA8 mounted as sdB8? any ideas? [08:14] but nickrud, seriously, how on earth could the irc channel show a different user set depending on which desktop you're using? [08:15] Anyone here running gnome on an eee? [08:15] russ: are you sure the kde app didn't drop you into kubuntu? [08:15] _Oz_: i don't know if they're kept in directory, but you just drag drop them to the change wallpaper window [08:15] JangMunho: I tried right-clicking the ext3 partition in gparted and hitting "delete" to free up the space, but it failed and said to unmount any partitions with logical numbers greater than 5 (or something similar to that). So I opened up "Computer" and unmounted the "disk" partition the LiveCD added, and then gparted crashed when I tried to refresh the devices. I started back up again, and now all of sdb is shown as unallocated disk space :( [08:15] i keep mine in /data/Pictures/Backgrounds [08:16] nickrud well yeah, I guess - when I boot my machine now it says "kubuntu" on the splash screen [08:16] _Oz_: and i keep mine in .backgrounds [08:16] !usplash | russ [08:16] russ: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork === paranoid_ndroid is now known as japr [08:17] nickrud: is that for a splash during boot? [08:17] starked: Oh, that's terrible, it seems that the partition table was destroyed... [08:17] Jangari: yes [08:17] sweet [08:17] JangMunho: I figured I'd end up doing something like this, :/ Any chance of me fixing it? [08:17] so much to learn [08:17] nickrud but when I connect to the IRC channel and the channel name is #ubuntu how could that care? just curious, seems bizarre to me [08:18] Why is it that i have to Set monitoring mode everytime i try and use a feature of the aircrack-ng suite that requires monitoring mode? [08:18] <_Oz_> /home/.backgrounds? [08:18] hey guys ... i've got gutsy, mplayer, and libdvdcss2 ... a dvd i'm trying to play can't be decrypted (reported from dvdread). any ideas? [08:18] russ: that would be bizarre. No clue, maybe you hit a server that was netsplit at tht time [08:18] <_Oz_> why the .backgrounds instead of backgrounds? [08:18] !css [08:18] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [08:18] Davo_Dinkum: yeah i have libdvdcss2 [08:18] starked: just don't make any new partition, and use some software to rebuild the partition table, otherwise all the data will be lost. [08:18] _Oz_: folders with . before them are hidden [08:18] _Oz_: /home/me/.backgrounds [08:19] i just found one that it can't decrypt for whatever reason [08:19] is it possible to make sshd listen on multiple ports, or do i have to have multiple sshd running? [08:19] if you open a terminal and type ls -al, it'll show all the folders and files, including the hidden ones [08:19] _Oz_: I hide it so it doesn't show up when I do ls ~ [08:19] mkbernard: why would you want to do that? [08:19] insta: try vlc [08:19] !vlc [08:19] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [08:19] !VLC [08:19] Davo_Dinkum: it couldn't do it either [08:19] !codecs [08:19] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [08:20] insta: because i want to have a special port for sshd to listen on that will be forwarded by my router [08:20] Do any Belkin based cards work with Ubuntu i have a Belkin b/g Plus usb deviced hanging around and ubuntu doesnt seem to respond when i put it in >.> [08:20] starked: Try testdisk, it should work for you... [08:20] insta: so only that particular server will respond to a ssh req on that port [08:21] mkbernard: it just sounds like you're doing something backwards, i guess :/ [08:21] insta: why? what would you do? [08:21] starked: Everytime before you have a partition operation, make sure you've used dd command to backup the partition table... [08:22] you want ssh listening on port 22 and port (hypothetically) 8191 from your router? [08:22] <_evert_> Hi all [08:22] Hey [08:22] JangMunho: That's going on a stickynote on the wall next to me from now on, :P [08:22] <_evert_> I'm having a little problem, i've just downloaded ubuntu server 7.10, but it keeps giving me a cd-error at the beginning of the installation [08:22] <_evert_> running the 'cd check' is giving me the same error [08:23] _evert_: burn it slower [08:23] insta: well, 8191 would be forwarded to my server by my router, and the only thing on my server listening on that port would be ssh [08:23] <_evert_> I've checked the downloaded iso and burned it twice (at a lower speed) [08:23] _evert_: sounds like a bad burn or a corrupt iso [08:23] mkbernard: you can make almost all routers forward external port 8191 to internal port 22 [08:23] insta: it makes that server visible from outside the network [08:23] burn it with a different drive? [08:23] <_evert_> i have only one drive [08:23] can someone tell me if this is the right command to install americas army [08:23] sudo sh ./armyops-linux.run [08:23] <_evert_> i'm using it on my desktop to burn and then in my server to install ubuntu server there [08:24] dragon: could be.. [08:24] insta: i realize that, but i have multiple servers with sshd running, i want it to forward external requests to a specific server [08:24] <_evert_> is there any easy way to install it over my network ? [08:24] im fallowing the guide http://linux.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=linux&cdn=compute&tm=15&f=00&su=p284.8.150.ip_&tt=2&bt=1&bts=1&zu=https%3A//help.ubuntu.com/community/AmericasArmy [08:24] mkbernard: port forwarding has to point to a specific IP inside the firewall [08:24] can someone tell me how to automatically mount a server via sshfs on startup, or login? [08:24] i still think it would work ... [08:25] dragon: I don't know if the filename is correct.. but the rest looks reasonable [08:25] exept it keeps saying bash: version: No such file or directory [08:25] Anyone know how to manually mount an SDHC card? [08:25] .... [08:25] dragon: replace with the program's version? [08:25] dragon: that's awesome [08:25] tried that came up with the same bash error [08:25] dragon: run this, ls | grep -i armyops [08:25] dragon: remove the < and the > [08:26] dragon: and take care to use capital letters correctly etc [08:26] are you in the right directory, dragon? [08:26] JangMunho: Well, on the plus side it looks like testdisk found my partitions [08:26] i got a problem, i installed OSS 4 to use my xfi, but now im getting 2 errors on startup; one with the deskbar applet and one with the music applet, giving me both error messages looking like this: "The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:Deskbar_Applet"." is there a fix ? [08:26] im not shure lol havent been useing linux very long [08:26] insta: i realize that to, but there may or may not be multiple redundant routers internally [08:26] JangMunho: I don't suppose you could tell me that exact dd command so I don't screw this up again? [08:26] My firefox flash stuff has gone to ass. [08:26] dragon: oh.. and yes.. replace with whatever version you downloaded.. ie say you downloaded version 2.74, then you'd run "sudo sh ./armyops2.74-linux.run" [08:26] Its all jittery when playing youtube videos. [08:27] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7Kibeg-Tos [08:27] insta: in any case, is it or is it not possible to make ssh listen on multiple ports [08:27] mkbernard: is that really the case with your situation? [08:27] self propaganda [08:27] jsoft: what version of flash are you using? [08:27] mkbernard: yeah you can do that [08:27] i am cute as hell [08:27] Grandpajoe: I dunno. [08:27] mkbernard: i don't know that much, and i'm sorry for wasting your time in that case ... it just seemed like there was a better way [08:27] Oh. It appears to be gnash. [08:27] Is anyone available to help troubleshoot a networking problem [08:27] oh, does anyone know why ubuntu server would hang midway through booting? it dies right on initializing my IDE controller ... which has previously worked [08:27] where can i go for help with GOS? I kinda don't even know how I ended up here. [08:27] jsoft: Go to the adobe flash site, and install their version following their instructions, its been working great for me [08:27] Which is some buggy version of adbobe flash [08:28] insta: its not a waste, im learning about ubuntu, so i think up problems, and your questions help me to reinforce my learning [08:28] jsoft: well.. it an unfinished implementation of flash.. not by adobe.. but open source [08:28] starked: dd if=/dev/sda of=~/backup bs=512 count=1 [08:28] yeah. uninstalling it now [08:28] insta: in all honesty, i could just forward requests using external/internal port switching as you said, i just wanted to know IF it is possible [08:28] mkbernard: i think that unless you were doing some really wild and radical changes between them, you should use something like iptables or your router's config to forward 8191 to port 22, regardless of where it happens [08:29] it just seems lie there's less maintenance in that case [08:29] JangMunho: Thanks. Like I said, stickynote :) [08:29] :|, ping? [08:29] the files name is armyops250-linux.run [08:29] insta: agreed. but look at it from an academic standpoint as far as ssh customization [08:29] mkbernard: the answer is a 'yeah buy why would you' [08:30] Is anyone available to help troubleshoot a networking problem? [08:30] argh [08:30] jsoft: curious as to how, thats all [08:30] roomie killed network [08:30] dragon: then do sudo sh armyops250-linux.run [08:30] brb [08:30] an academic standpoint? :/ [08:30] Liet_Kynes: what kind of networking problem? [08:30] starked: You're welcome. To recovery the partition table, just use dd if=/path/to/backup of=/dev/sda bs=512 skip=446 count=1 [08:30] !anyone | liet_kynes [08:30] liet_kynes: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [08:30] jsoft: learning for the sake of learning, without really having a particular pupose or use for it currently [08:30] Hello every one, perhaps I am in the correct place, may I ask what you might think a simple question? [08:30] sh: armyops250-linux.run: No such file or directory is what i got [08:31] dragon: cd to the directory it's in then do that command [08:31] !ask [08:31] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [08:31] darren: shoot [08:31] lol [08:31] mkbernard: yeah thats the most ineffective way of 'learning' stuff. [08:31] Sweet [08:31] ok [08:31] hi. this is weird: /dev/sda8 on /media/sdb8 type ext3 (rw). why are my sdA partitions mounted as sdB ? [08:31] hi there, i have problem (probably) with ext3 fs. i need to make iso from dvd, and there is problem when iso file reach 2GiB. Brasero just stop creating file, what should i looking for? mayby some changes in fstab can help? any ideas? [08:31] SO im trying to install vm tools inside GOS [08:31] my desktop pc doesn't want to connect via network cable to my router anymore [08:31] so i would do cd/home/dragon/desktop? [08:31] jsoft: for you maybe, but it gives me something to do [08:31] dragon: /home/dragon/Desktop [08:31] But I can not install a .pl file or script [08:31] mkbernard: ahh huh. [08:32] dragon: since you're new to linux... let's break it down.. sudo is used to run the next command as root (administrator user in linux), you have to be root to install stuff.. sh is a command interpreter and the armyops250-linux.run is like a windows .bat or .cmd-file that installs the game.. [08:32] I need a package of some kind I think [08:32] darren: perl? [08:32] jsoft: you dont just think up problems then work to fix them? [08:32] that sounds correct [08:32] JangMunho: Thanks. I never even realized you could backup the partition table -- I've never really used dd (only read a little about it), but it makes sense now that you mentioned it. Nifty tool, that. [08:32] mkbernard: no. [08:32] ok [08:32] mkbernard: if problems get in my way, _then_ I work on them. [08:32] Liet_Kynes: When that happens to my users at work I usually have them power down their pc, unplug the network cable, plug it back in (to the back of the pc). Then Restart the modem and the computer [08:32] jsoft: i often end up learning more in the process of going through the motions than just sitting there. for example, i learn the structure of the sshd conf [08:32] I searched in the package manager for pearl and allot of stuff came back [08:33] mkbernard: wow [08:33] So I am confused [08:33] so it would be like: sudo cd/home/desktop then that other command? [08:33] and so I got IRC and came here .. to ask question of people that know allot more then me about this sort of stuff [08:33] ugh. sudo. [08:33] mkbernard: I've been having the same experiece with fstab and fdisk. I had no idea what they did before tonight, now I know too much. [08:33] dragon: no, just cd ~/Desktop, then sudo sh armyops250-linux.run [08:33] dragon: nope.. you don't have to be root to use cd [08:34] jsoft: im not the sort to say "it works because it does", i want to know why/how it works [08:34] dragon: just cd ~/Desktop remember.. capital D.. linux is case sensitive [08:34] jsoft: a curious person by nature you might say [08:34] mkbernard: Ahh huh. [08:34] darren: try sudo apt-get install perl [08:35] starked: Yes, it's very useful. you know... dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/a.iso bs=1M can make an iso image ^_^ [08:35] grandpajoe: see, you had a problem, and you had to go through the motions of fixing it, and now you have truly learned something [08:35] sweet I will try that right now [08:35] mkbernard: Yep, but guess what, Problem still ain't fixed, but hey I learned something [08:35] ok now this is odd i went to my desktop (where the file is atm) and did that sudo sh armyops250-linux.run [08:35] grandpajoe: although your problem was probably more critical in nature, whereas my "problem" is largely academic and curiousity driven [08:35] apt-get pearl [08:35] and got sh: armyops250-linux.run: No such file or directory [08:35] lol [08:36] hi everyone. I would like to install drivers for my cell phone to use gprs connection [08:36] darren: perl, not pearl [08:36] JangMunho: Now that's just plain cool. I could see a lot of problems happening if you messed up the if and of, though >.< [08:36] how I can get drivers for my cell phone (korean sky 8100)? [08:36] I not only typed on the wrong screen but I spelled it wrong.. [08:36] mkbernard: what are you actually planning to do with linux? Mince around learning it, or will you be doing something constructive? [08:36] years of microsoft windows [08:36] mkbernard: Nah its not critical just annoying. I have this 16 gb sd card for my eee pc (4 gb, no room!) and the dang thing will just never mount [08:36] grandpajoe: it turns out that the first solution is rarely the best/correct one. but like you said, you learned. and now you know empirically from trial and error that what you did did NOT solve your problem [08:37] starked: yes, of=/dev/sda can be dangerous [08:37] darren: ha ha same here [08:37] says perl is up to date.. [08:37] lol, thats a good way of looking at it [08:37] *sigh* [08:37] darren: perl 5.8.8 or 5.10? [08:37] i typed a command last night, and it turned out it was _not_ the right command, and I learned from it [08:37] * jsoft yawns [08:38] so is there any solution? [08:38] just says "newest" [08:38] JangMunho: I personally love dd if=/dev/zero /dev/sdx FULL OF ZEROS NOW! [08:38] whats this perl problem? [08:38] (besides perl it's self ;) [08:38] jsoft: well i am better adjusted to solaris, but in short i basically like to understand some of the intricacies of the system so i can use it more effectively [08:39] mkbernard: solaris eh. What do you do on solairs? If you use solaris, why are you re-learning how a sshd.conf works? [08:39] darren: try perl -v [08:39] what's the command to reconfigure xserver? [08:39] Grandpajoe: Yes, I'm loving it... [08:39] error when I try installing says "bash: vmware-install.pl: command not found [08:39] Can someone take a look at http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=135401#p135401 and see if I did something obvious [08:40] AHemlocksLie: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [08:40] Starnestommy: thanks [08:40] darren: try perl ./vmware-install.pl [08:40] jsoft: to be honest, i have never really had to change sshd.conf for anything like this [08:40] * jsoft has 30 more passwords to crack :( [08:40] taking ages [08:41] from any directory? [08:41] jsoft: so i couldnt do this on solaris. regardless, i am curious [08:41] darren: the directory where that file is [08:41] mkbernard: you sound like a hyped up geek or something [08:41] in suse it is supported [08:41] ohh your sexy!!! that worked [08:42] thanks mate [08:42] trying to be more interested than you really are [08:42] says the man in a linux chat room on a saturday [08:42] ha ha i finaly got it to start installing [08:42] Why not find something genuinely interesting, ie, make something, be creative [08:42] Can you help to choose mail software [08:42] ciao a tutti [08:42] Grandpajoe: its sunday. [08:42] I try qmail + vpopmail [08:42] jsoft: i do that during business hours, on my time i like to poke around [08:43] now I just have to configure that install, cool thanks so much!!! [08:43] what another solution i can try [08:43] loa: are you migrating or setting up new? [08:43] JangMunho: Thank heavens, I think it's finally working. The install finally got through with now errors and has a status of "creating filesystem on..." [08:43] loa: how many domains/users? [08:43] jsoft: like i said, its in my nature to be curious [08:43] not very big mail server [08:44] mkbernard: marvelous. You have already mentioned that about 3 or 4 times now. [08:44] loa: single domain? [08:44] josft: and you have tried attacking even more, so i reitterate [08:44] i put the sudo command like b4 only i removed a - that was between the verson number and the word linux [08:44] starked: That's good...:) [08:44] mkbernard: yah whatever. go be curious. [08:44] no, few domains [08:45] loa: few, or one [08:45] hey, have anybody tried to run Outlook, configured through HTTP proxy (OWA), using crossover or wine? OWA just does not seem to work with crossover.. [08:45] jsoft: do you know how to make it listen on multiple ports? [08:45] loa: whats it for, describe whos going to use it... [08:45] so it went: sudo sh armyops250linux.run [08:45] JangMunho: It says "Copying files..." so I think I'm in the clear. Thanks for all your help with this, and for the nifty new dd tricks! I'm going to go enjoy the LiveCD now, since it's never worked for me before :) Have a good night! [08:45] mkbernard: i would make it listen on a single port, and any werid additional ports that it needs to listen on, I would do a rdr to. [08:46] On same server already installed few web projects, wich scripts can send mail [08:46] mkbernard: Does this look right? fdisk: /dev/sdb1 1 15740 16117744 b W95 FAT32 fstab: /dev/sdb1 /media/sd vfat rw,user,auto 0 0 [08:46] JangMunho: dd tricks? [08:46] Is there a way to install Ubuntu on a machine that has no optical drive? [08:46] Use USB [08:46] Grandpajoe: is there a way to put the livecd on a usb key? [08:46] Grandpajoe: is it a usb disk that's always connected or a flash drive that you take in and out? [08:46] niskel: yes, let me look up the link [08:47] and few remote users with different domains [08:47] starked: You're welcome.. I'm Chinese. So it's day rather than night...:) Good night! [08:47] macogw: its just a usb you take out [08:47] loa: can you at least use jsoft instead of [08:47] Grandpajoe: noauto [08:47] Grandpajoe: if you do auto itll try to find the disk on boot [08:47] it's xchat, excuse me [08:47] can you tell me in what file the repositories are stored? i tried to upgrade to ubuntu 8.04 and it faield [08:47] grandpajoe: like a pendrive or a thumb drive? [08:47] Any one know how to search for a file or directory in GOS ? [08:47] I'm trying to configure the drivers for my ATI RADEON 9550 graphics card, but it's not working. When I try to run "sudo aticonfig --initial", it gives me the following error: http://www.pastebin.org/18891 It also takes it upon itself to delete my xorg.conf. Anyone have any ideas what's wrong? [08:48] <[MGR]Mikkel> Hi all [08:48] darren: sudo updatedb && locate [08:48] http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu [08:48] <[MGR]Mikkel> How can i changes the File Name?? from lol.conf to example.conf? [08:48] loa: Well you could get away with just sendmail/postfix and standard system users. [08:48] loa: no need to go fancy if you have few useres. [08:48] joy -_- i acticdently exit out of the terminal and now the: sudo sh armyops250linux.run command dont want to work [08:48] jsoft I want to try: Exim+Courier-IMAP and MySQL [08:48] users.

[08:49] loa: and bear in mind it will require you to migrate existing users to the sql setup. [08:49] mkbernard: hes just curious [08:49] niskel: no problem. By the way, ignore the part about the live cd if you already have an ubuntu machine [08:49] mkbernard: to connect an SD card to my laptop [08:49] jsoft thank you [08:49] simion314: dont think anyone answered you yet, so /etc/apt/sources.list [08:49] ok how about copy and paste? [08:49] Grandpajoe: will do [08:49] mkbernard: doesn't really matter how it mounts, just so long as I can write to it and read from it [08:50] got it [08:50] same [08:50] grandpajoe: it wont mount at all? [08:50] darren: copy is cp [08:50] darren: mv is move [08:50] Umm, Yes, I recently had KDE4 and KDE, I was wondering, How do I take it off my system?.. [08:50] mkbernard: nope, and i had to go through hell to get the laptop to even recognize it [08:51] grandpajoe: does it mount on another machine? [08:51] <[MGR]Mikkel> Fail: Cannot chdir(/home/mikkel/lib): Permission denied, check DPATH <- Where can i find the Pastebin to I can copy From example.conf? [08:51] mkbernard: But I have that taken care of now. fdisk sees it now, and I formatted it. What do you say I should put in the place of auto? noauto? [08:51] Ugh. [08:51] Gnash is filth. Dont use it with firefox :/ [08:51] [MGR]Mikkel: chdir? [08:51] Umm, Yes, I recently had KDE4 and KDE, I was wondering, How do I take it off my system?..

[09:00] any dvdread-based player (vlc included) cant' crack the dvd [09:00] inst1: vlc player? [09:00] grandpajoe: have you? [09:00] mkquist: yeah using vlc [09:00] _evert_: dang. Tell you what, I saw a method of doing this from XP Somewhere, let me poke around [09:00] yes? [09:01] hmm, got me then... sorry [09:01] <_evert_> Grandpajoe: it would be great if you could find that wiki/howto back again for me :o [09:01] oh sec [09:01] You could tell vlc from the command line what track toplay I think. or try haveing it open the .vob on the disk [09:01] grandpajoe: i posted a possible fix for the fstab entry, did you see? [09:01] Ugh, No one is seeming to help me, AT ALL, this is the first time.. [09:01] iDivine: try sudo apt-get remove kdedesktop [09:01] Starnestommy: yeah thats what i needed [09:01] mkbernard: I totally missed that, let me try that now. [09:01] Dr_willis: is that for inst1? [09:01] libdvdread: Error cracking CSS key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_04_1.VOB (0x000c8094)!!

I just recall doing tha tbefor. === inst1 is now known as insta [09:02] inst1 thats an interesting error [09:02] perhaps the installer just thinks they are in the wrong place [09:02] FranzJesus, E: Couldn't find package kdedesktop [09:02] the menu can play, the trailers can play (of course), just the main track can't [09:02] iDivine: Sorry, it should be sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop [09:02] iDivine: kde-desktop? [09:02] I wonder if theres a updated css thing. [09:03] insta: read Dr_willis post 2 back [09:03] iDivine: which one do you want to get rid of? you just uncheck "kde" and "kde4" from synaptic and hit apply, as far as i know, but #kubuntu's a better place to ask as they actually know about kde [09:03] insta: You could tell vlc from the command line what track toplay I think. or try haveing it open the .vob on the disk [09:03] sup? [09:03] Macogw, Ok [09:03] mkquist / Dr_willis ... how can vlc play my specific track if it can't decrypt it? :( [09:03] FranzJesus, Is not installed. [09:03] insta: that was his post [09:03] Starnestommy, Couldn't find pakage [09:04] FranzJesus: removing kubuntu-desktop only gets rid of the metapackage. the stuff stays [09:04] insta, i wonder if thats not a bad track just to confuse players.. try another track? [09:04] insta: well if u cant decrypt then maybe remove and reinstall the codec?

[09:05] investigating [09:05] [MGR]Mikkel: looks like the code's crap [09:05] Ok so I went to the directory that the VM installer was looking for my C headers in [09:05] <[MGR]Mikkel> Starnestommy: http://www.ircd-q.net/_files/Q/q_4.20.tgz <- its here! [09:05] macogw: didn't know that [09:05] I cant open the folder [09:05] grandpajoe: try chaning the first auto back to vfat [09:05] <[MGR]Mikkel> macogw: How? [09:05] nothing in it and the window is just blank, this is the /usr/src/ dir [09:06] FranzJesus: it might remove a few others, but i remember trying to get rid of gnome using apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop and trying to get rid of kde that way and having to go through and uninstall every libk* and kde* that showed up in dpkg -l as installed that i could find [09:06] [MGR]Mikkel: crap as in it won't work [09:06] could't you use apt-get autoremove after ? [09:06] [MGR]Mikkel: well those are errors that say "this code is wrong" [09:06] macogw: uninstall using apt-get, then apt-get autoremove maybe... just a thought [09:06] mkbernard: k [09:06] bah [09:06] <[MGR]Mikkel> Hmmm [09:06] it was region encoding [09:06] can anyone recommend a good disk recovery tool that can read ntfs? [09:06] hi folks [09:06] <[MGR]Mikkel> macogw : Can i not running it ? [09:06] how do i get libmad0 ? === masACC is now known as maswan [09:07] FranzJesus: same thought a little slower for me... =p [09:07] [MGR]Mikkel: if the programmers wrote junk code, it's not going to compile [09:07] lots of good stuff out there [09:07] <_evert_> Grandpajoe: according to this guide it should be possible with windows since syslinux is available for windows too [09:07] badkitty, there are some ntfs tools - not installed by default. that can read/recover ntfs. [09:07] badkitty: try knoppix?

[09:13] linux is not mac dude [09:13] heh maybe its just im so use to point and click interface insted of this terminal thing [09:14] dragon: if you find any program you wan't on the internet, then try searching it in synaptic and install from there [09:14] _evert_: by the way, if your not at home, are you in a hotel? [09:14] filesize is limited to 4gb on fat32 i think mounted as vfat [09:14] badkitty: sry [09:14] simion314: does that show ubuntu.com's ip address as 91.189.94.158? [09:14] mac is a linux though!

[09:14] no bad kitty was the one with NTFs problems [09:14] Grandpajoe: it's based on freebsd and xnu, not linux [09:14] I was offering advise but I dont know where he went [09:14] darren: ok nm then =p [09:14] Grandpajoe: mac is a model of apple computer. osx, the os on the mac, is a bsd, not a linux, but it's still a unix [09:15] I knew I should have said a unix [09:15] unfortintly i cant find armyops in synaptic package manager [09:15] actually darwin is the unix os, osx is the gui [09:15] simion314: does your /etc/resolv.conf match on your ubuntu and on your debian? [09:15] Hello [09:15] they really should add that to the games section [09:16] How i can change codepage of my ubuntu? I'm using ubuntu 7.10 server edition.. [09:16] pocketwatch: darwin's the kernel, osx is the os, and aqua's the gui [09:16] macogw, okay >.> :P [09:16] macogw: and leopard is a cat [09:16] JustV: code page? [09:16] or charset [09:17] from ??? to utf8 [09:17] ok its saying my /usr/include are for c libraries not for running kernel, says I "probably dont have kernel source package installed then asks me if im sure I want to continue [09:17] JustV: it should be unicode by default, i thought... [09:17] should I continue [09:17] is there a way to change the locale after installation? ie the way ubuntu displays date/time, currency symbols, whatever? [09:17] macogw: but i change it? [09:17] darren: you shouldnt need the full kernel sources. just the headers should be enough [09:17] macogw: *but i can change it? [09:18] <_evert_> Grandpajoe: i've copied all the files to the usb stick, let's hope it will boot [09:18] grandpajoe: have you tried mounting it without the UUID [09:18] _evert_: Good luck! [09:18] dragon: Use this how https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AmericasArmy [09:18] _evert_: and remember to make it bootable [09:18] meh i cant seem to install any games on here linux or otherwise (and the games that are allready in synaptic are blegh) [09:18] JustV: unicde = utf-8, utf-16, utf-32, etc and switches between them based on how many bits are needed to represent the character based on how high its value s [09:18] ok says " does not match my running kernel" [09:18] mkbernard: the sda? [09:19] mkbernard: that drive is working just fine [09:19] simion314: it doesnt need to be in your resolv.conf [09:19] then asks me again where my c header can be found [09:19] <_evert_> Grandpajoe: what tool are you using to make it bootable ? :) [09:19] mkbernard: Its sdb that is acting up [09:19] simion314: resolv.conf lists the domain name servers you're using [09:19] macogw: yes i know [09:19] Franzjesus: um i was useing that to do it and it didnt seem to work right [09:19] _evert_: syslinux I think [09:19] simion314: it shoulds like your ubuntu and your debian one disagree [09:19] _evert_: Windows can do it too though [09:19] dragon: What failed, how far did you come ? [09:19] simion314: you can try going to the ip address i gave and if that works, put the ip address into your /etc/hosts [09:20] _evert_: thats an option when you format it.... if you can format it [09:20] I installed Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and installed fluxbox wmake but I am not part of that version xorg should install? [09:20] Sorry my English but with google translate translate education [09:20] i got it to unpack and it seemed like it installed but then it got stuck on the install part (the install bar would go from 0 to 99 over and over again) [09:20] kjdx: what is your language?

I've been trying to get wine working and when I uninstalled it I saw it wasn't deleting it's configuration files so I deleted them manualy (from /home/.wine). Now for some reason even when I mark it for complete removal and remove it and reinstall it, it still won't create that directory and errors out when I try to do anything [09:21] kjdk #ubuntu-it [09:21] macogw: i tried to go to that adress http://91.189.94.158 but is the same, i will restart [09:21] [09:21] Ubuntu.it are also, but I am still no one has answered why I tried here [09:21] kjdx: oh ok [09:21] [09:21] I need this help [09:21] kjdx: ubuntu 6.06 comes with xorg [09:22] help needed.

I've copied all the files, but i still need to make it bootable somehow [09:24] mkbernard: wrong fs type, bad otion..... [09:24] why do people get facinated with compiz and all that rubbish [09:24] kjdx: there is a column for version [09:24] grandpajoe: thats wierd considering you mounted it from the command line [09:24] can anyone help? I tried to reinstall wine and after removing it deleted the .wine folder and now it won't make that folder again even when I reinstall [09:24] No corresponding package [09:24] grandpajoe: did you actually try it or is that just what its been giving you? [09:25] does anyone know of a game server probe for linux? [09:25] dragon: try to install program from http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=701 [09:25] mkbernard: I tried that a minute ago and got that error [09:25] Anand is your sound card hardware supported [09:25] I installed Ubuntu 6.06 serves LAMP [09:25] server* [09:25] mkbernard: yep, just did it again, same error [09:25] kjdx: dpkg -l xserver-xorg-core [09:25] _evert_: looking it up [09:25] kjdx: oooooooo [09:26] No corresponding package [09:26] dear all, i need some help in getting sound on my lappy. ubuntu on compaq..... [09:26] kjdx: you do not have X installed yet, then? [09:26] grandpajoe: what happens if you remove it from the fstab then try it (backup fstab first) [09:26] Hey can someone please shed some light on this prob of mine: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4303782&postcount=1 thanks in advance [09:26] no [09:26] i got ntfs-3g installed btw [09:26] Anand: be more specific. telling what kind of sound card you have could result in someone saying "oh i have that and i did x" [09:26] I do not know what should install [09:27] mkbernard: same thing [09:27] kjdx: sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg [09:27] _evert_: last time I did it I just ran sudo syslinux /dev/sdX1 [09:27] _evert_: lemme look on how to do it in windows [09:28] SupaFly if you have the option to go to the boot munu before load it is simple to do it that way [09:28] Ok hours are installing [09:28] tnk [09:28] kjdx: no problem [09:28] Finished with the installation startx to do lancira graphics right? [09:28] yeah but id like to access the winxp HD for the mp3's say via amarok while im using Kubuntu on its own HD [09:29] kjdx: yes, that should work [09:29] just so i can access files on the win HD through Kubuntu [09:29] SupaFly ie on my pc i can press f11 while it is loading and select what to bot from [09:29] _evert_: Maybe this will help? http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/serveroptions/us/download/23839.html [09:29] kjdx: that is how i set up this laptop. i installed the server version, and then i installed xserver-xorg and fluxbox. i start it up with startx [09:29] Thanks for the support [09:29] ah i see to use both at the same time you meen [09:29] yeah i dont have a problem with that so much now, i got that bit sorted, but its accessing the files from the win HD from the Kubuntu HD [09:29] kjdx: i am trying to write so that the google translator can work well [09:30] yup [09:30] :) [09:30] well, i use Kubuntu %80 of the time, but would be nice to acccess and listen to music while im on Kubuntu [09:30] macogw: System compaq presario v3423 au, sound is nvidia HDA, chip: conexant cx20549. alsa and oss installed with syanaptics manager. everything seems to be ok.---means no error messaged came so far. tried to play some mp3 with mplayer, and then with vlc player. it plays the file .. but no sound output. [09:30] then maybe a virtual machine is the awnser you are looking for [09:30] no no way [09:30] last time i tried vmware i fried everything [09:30] lol [09:30] ek ok then [09:31] i dont want that solution, im more than happy having the OS on there own HD [09:31] OHH man, I crashed linux... [09:31] Our ISP's web proxy server is down now, is there a solution to browsing web? [09:31] Anand: and in alsamixer there's nothing suspiciously muted? [09:31] perhaps I should just stop using computers [09:31] that suits me fine, but id like to be able to access the win HD/files while im on kubuntu [09:31] there are other virtual programs have you lookked in to thoes? [09:31] Anand: check that your media keys on the computer for muting havent muted it either. sometimes itll be muted by the media keys but the alsamixer doesnt show that [09:31] darren: true, you can now install linux on your toaster [09:31] no, i dont want virtualisation [09:31] darren: no need for a computer [09:31] The installation is finished, but if I say I write startx command not found [09:31] heh [09:31] macogw: nothing muted... [09:31] id rather have the OS' on there own HD [09:32] ok so you do you mind if I continue to bother you with n00b q's [09:32] SupaFly, you've got to mount your windows partition. put it in /etc/fstab so that it's mounted during the boot process. see man mount, man fstab [09:32] Anyone having luck settings 2fingertap to "right mouse button" and 3fingertap to "middle mouse button" on MacBook? [09:32] aghhhh [09:32] <---embrsd [09:32] yup, but problem with fstab i cant find the /dev/sda1(win xp HD) mount point to put into fstab [09:32] Any other synaptic touchpad could work the same way.. dunno. [09:32] you can accses the files but i dont think you will be able to run any of the other os programs from a sepera os [09:32] grandpajoe: are you sure thats the right dev mount point? [09:33] macogw: media keys are fine.. if i press the mute key, osd appears with mute symbol. that means it is fine [09:33] yeah i dont want to run programs from windows on kubuntu though, just ACCESS them [09:33] new distro to linux "umbarsed" [09:33] If someone responds to my questions please write my step so nick translation thanks [09:33] ok ok [09:33] ill post the output of sudo fdisk -l && cat /etc/fstab [09:33] !paste [09:33] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [09:33] mkbernard: well, I think I am, I could know for sure by running fdisk -l right? [09:33] kjdx: what kind of video or graphics card do you have? nvidia? ati? intel? [09:34] mkbernard: oh hey, I should probably add that the /media/sd was just a folder I created, should I change that to something else you think? [09:34] here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55458/ [09:34] * Timon_Crazy пожелал всем доброго утра. [09:34] _evert_: any luck? [09:34] but what would be the mount point for sda1 in fstab? [09:34] grandpajoe: typically that really shoudlnt matter [09:34] nvidia [09:34] how do you unzip/uncompress a .cpgz file? [09:35] is win on the 30 or the 41 gig? [09:35] the 30g [09:35] jm_: its a gzip'd cpio archive [09:35] winxp = /dev/sda1 * 1 3737 30017421 7 HPFS/NTFS [09:35] kjdx: ls /etc/X11/ is there a file named xorg.conf ? [09:35] mount should just be sda [09:36] or /dev/sda [09:36] mkbernard: so fdisk -l says /dev/sdb1 1 15740 16117744 b w95 fat32 [09:36] SupaFly, you can mount in anywhere. eg, create a folder /media/windows and mount it there [09:36] mkbernard: w95 fat32 is vfat right? [09:36] no such file or directory [09:36] ah ok ill give that a go, [09:36] asp [09:36] spdf: how do i open it? [09:37] macogw: any idea how to troubleshoot this [09:37] fluxbox windowmaker X xorg.conf xresources Xwrapper.config [09:37] kjdx: are you sure it finished installing? was there an error? [09:37] !info unp [09:37] unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.12 (gutsy), package size 9 kB, installed size 72 kB [09:37] when i ping www.ubuntu .com the ip appears there (91.189.94.158) and 1-2 minutes i get 2 responses from arctowski.canonical.com (91.189.94.158) [09:37] kjdx: xorg.conf is there [09:37] kjdx: vi xorg.conf [09:38] kjdx: move down and look for the word Nvidia [09:38] jm_: gunzip it, then I believe 'cpio -id < filename' [09:38] grandpajoe: yea. try using a nix file system, like ext3 [09:38] grandpajoe: do the results change? [09:38] any one know what "none of the pre built vmhgfs modules for vmware tools is suitable for your running kernel mean? [09:38] Anand: no [09:38] Anand, it's probably the still not fixed snd-hda-intel driver that comes with gutsy (you're using gutsy, right?) [09:38] zimon: yea [09:38] zimon: snd-hda-intel works on my laptop... [09:39] asking me if the program should try and make them? [09:39] macogw: model? [09:39] mkbernard: To do that I would go through fdisk, and set it as an extended partition, then change it to ext [09:39] Anand: there is an alsa dev that is usually here, but he lives near me, so i know it's 4:30 AM. you can try #alsa [09:39] i can't conect to ubuntu when i ping www.ubuntu .com the ip appears there (91.189.94.158) and after 1-2 minutes i get 2 responses from arctowski.canonical.com (91.189.94.158) [09:39] Anand, right. didn't work for me either. seems like they missed some codecs when building the module [09:39] grandpajoe: you cant reformat the whole drive? [09:40] zimon: might be. lemme try from scratch. [09:40] -ChanServ [09:40] grandpajoe: whats wierd is it should matter if you use auto what the fs is [09:40] [09:40] The file is empty [09:40] mkbernard: Thats what I was talking about [09:40] grandpajoe, shouldnt* [09:40] so i guess I need the kernel source package for GOS ? [09:41] kjdx: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [09:41] mkbernard: screw it, I just installed gparted and I'm going to format the card with that [09:41] kjdx: that will ask you questions and should fill it in for you. [09:41] Quick question, not sure if anyone knows but is there a channel for QCad help? [09:42] mkbernard: ok this is really freaking weird. I open up gparted and it looks at the disk, and its formatted to unknown [09:42] mkbernard: ext2 or 3 you think? [09:43] Kuroachia dosnt sem to be on free node may be on a dis network [09:43] can someone confirm that this edited fstab looks ok? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55459/ [09:43] vallhalla81: Thanks. I'll keep looking. :) [09:43] grandpajoe: 3 [09:44] grandpajoe: or would you prefer a non journaled fs? [09:44] the bottom line is the edit [09:44] hello all [09:44] i just want to make sure so that i dont ruin the boot up or get a problem etc [09:45] mkbernard: I'll be god damned, I tried fat32, took it out, put it in and it works! [09:45] or stuff up my winxp OS on that HD too lol [09:45] grandpajoe: i have a theory [09:45] mkbernard: Damn me and my stubborness of OH the fdisk is so great let me use my new toy! [09:45] [09:45] I did configuration but when ends do if startx command always tells me not found [09:45] SupaFly looks ok [09:45] have any of you installed ubuntu on a eee pc ? [09:45] mkbernard: this is freaking great, thanks so much man, I have spent hours on this [09:46] grandpajoe: its likely that you didnt set some options when you fdisked it, so the partition table got hosed [09:46] grandpajoe: hey, no problem, we both learned something :D [09:46] cool, so according to the new fstab i should be able to access the files on that HD from the HD/Kubuntu OS? [09:47] you should [09:47] coincoin169: i know someone that did eeexubuntu on his [09:47] Hi all! I need help. I have Ubuntu 7.04, update it and at restart only command prompt is visible, no GUI [09:47] kjdx: are there errors at the end of /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [09:47] boleslo: (asking the obvious first) did you do a server install? [09:48] grandpajoe: you might want to do a fsck just for fun, make sure that its clean [09:48] mkbernard: sure, lemme see [09:48] macogw: No, I didn't, I think I didn't. What kind of installation is server install? [09:48] mkbernard: no errors at all [09:49] pls help ... XAMMP :( [09:49] i am trying to install a command-line system on mine [09:49] vallhallla81 should i be using the UUID for the fstab? or would the /dev/sda1 be sufficient? [09:49] grandpajoe: beautiful, your in [09:49] the winxp/HD UUID being 808876B68876AA74 [09:50] macogw: Feisty worked fine for a long time. I updated wine (I think) and then it says it can't find apt-get command [09:50] niekto kto mi rozumie tu je ? :D [09:50] boleslo: server installs dont have a GUI. its fairly common for people to do server installs and then think that means it's broken [09:50] mkbernard: now to get in more trouble and install windows xp on that drive :) [09:50] SupaFly /dev/sda should be opk [09:50] boleslo: O_o sounds like your hard drive is going bad and things are corrupting [09:50] boleslo, lets ask this -- X used to work? then after a update/upgrade it stoppe? [09:50] no [09:51] mkbernard: LOL I'll probably be looking for you later because you know no good deed goes unpunished [09:51] boleslo: if apt-get is gone....chunks are either missing or corrupted [09:51] !install [09:51] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

The keyboard is starting to look like a pillow. [09:52] i can't conect to ubuntu when i ping www.ubuntu .com the ip appears there (91.189.94.158) and after 1-2 minutes i get 2 responses from arctowski.canonical.com (91.189.94.158), after 10 minutes other 2 responses, i have no ideea, (except to try to reinstall) [09:52] !cz > fester-182 [09:52] grandpajoe: i hate that feeling [09:53] Well thanks again all, Have a wonderful night. Goodnight! [09:53] does anybody know how well the skype for feisty (7.04) works for gutsy (7.10)?

[09:53] kandinsk it works just fine [09:54] vallhalla81: thanks [09:54] no problem [09:55] macogw: i copied home folder from linux to vista, how can I check linux partition for errors in ubuntu command prompt ?

[09:56] will get it working later [09:56] byes [09:56] i'm not asking for support [09:56] boleslo: you can boot from the live cd and then install smartmontools while the live cd is running. then do "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda" to check your drive's smart response [09:56] i'm asking for opinions? [09:56] !offtopic | binskipy2u [09:56] binskipy2u: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [09:56] and user experiences if anyone here uses it [09:56] boleslo : fsck should do it for you [09:56] boleslo: smart is monitoring stuff built into the drive. if there are reallocated sectors (the number in the far right column is what to look at) that's bad. it means the disk is going [09:56] OK refer install as ubuntu server as a server and no lamp [09:57] boleslo: there's also that column that says "pre-fail" just before you disk dies... i have a drive where my libraries are corrupting because of that [09:58] macogw: ok, I will try. Live cd should be the one I insalled feisty from it? [09:58] boleslo: yes [09:59] macogw: how long will you be on irc? [10:00] binskipy2u, my opinion after a first look: bloated. e.g.: why would i want LAMP on a desktop? [10:00] hmm im nervous, i have a bad feeling that when i reboot my system will fail again lol [10:01] boleslo: probably gonna go soon as its 5am [10:01] where can i get the .config for the xen kernel? [10:01] macgow: ok, in slovenia is 11 am right now... thank you for your help ;) [10:01] corporeal, is it installed? [10:02] the kernel? yes [10:02] corporeal, then it's /boot/config....something [10:02] interesting [10:02] hi, how do I get root access to the file manager in ubuntu? [10:02] Hi I am using a myHella (a python interface for hellanzb). If I got to the directory and click on the python script it will open up without any problems. However when I try put it in my menu or make a link to my desktop it will open when I click on it, but not show the interface. The actual processes that it uses do open tho. Anyone got an idea how I can fix this? [10:03] also, what package do i install to get ncurses-dev? [10:03] I think I use sudo nautilus [10:03] because libncurses-dev and libncurses5-dev wont work [10:03] so i just have to get this right, even though the HD containing the winxp OS is ntfs, if i mount that auto with fstab when i choose to run Kubuntu(on its own HD) Kubuntu will be able to read the ntfs HD containing windows? === ktogias_ is now known as ktogias [10:04] SupaFly: yes [10:04] boleslo: ni za kaj [10:04] ok cool, i thought i may need something like ntfs-3g or something [10:04] clock disappear from gnome panel (Feisty), maybe it is because of the new updates - ideas? [10:04] boleslo: (wikipedia :) ) [10:04] nem1: right click on the the bar, and use "add to panel" [10:04] and its not dangerous at all to specify the HD(winxpOS) by its UUID in the fstab file? [10:04] nem1: clock should be there [10:05] instead of say /dev/sda1 ? [10:05] bye all [10:05] macogw: internet/wikipedia rocks :) tnx again [10:05] "fails to load the applet" :( [10:05] corporeal, installing ncurses-dev should pull in everything you need [10:05] E: Package ncurses-dev has no installation candidate [10:06] any other ideas (hend?) [10:06] corporeal, it's not a real package, but a virtual. it's provided by libncurses5-dev ... so that should be alright [10:06] nem1: no sorry : / no expert [10:07] any know how to get mouse gestures like on mac [10:07] !automatix [10:07] automatix is not recommended, supported or needed.

[10:08] yeah unmount a device [10:08] zimon: apt-get [10:08] oooooooh i get ya lol [10:08] corporeal, maybe run apt-get update first [10:09] err.. anyone remember that app that lets you set custom keys to your multimedia keyboards?

But, When trying to reboot, I got, 'Kernel panic, SomethingSomething /init. Try pass init.' Then I looked on Ubuntu forums, and they told me to press 'E' at the grub menu, to edit that line, and then to edit it, now the question is, Do I have to do that every time? + I've looked on forums, none seem to help, and I'm pretty new to ubuntu.

[10:46] AD7six, i can't install apache2.. i type sudo apt-get install apache2 and when i type localhost in the browser it can't open [10:46] ok [10:46] ok [10:47] is there any way to sort SVN out [10:47] hi, i still can't connect to ubuntu.com, restart my internet connection, boot in windows, the ip appears when i ping but the answer is not comming [10:47] ParsiTux: 'dunno' I don't use (or want) and IDE [10:48] online_: what's the error message [10:48] cant open 'dir/file' : operation not permitted [10:48] teo_: sounds like "didn't correctly" rather than can't [10:48] online_: where local or in the repo [10:49] hi, i still can't connect to ubuntu.com, restart my internet connection, boot in windows, the ip appears when i ping but the answer is not comming, i can't read forums to try to find such problems, i can see other web pages, this is strange [10:49] AD7six: not sure that I understand your question [10:49] Hello!

[10:53] lordleemo: Guess it's not in any repositories? [10:54] how do i reinstall [10:54] can you burn an iso amin1?

[10:58] hello anyone der and want to cat? [10:59] .... [10:59] uh. [10:59] more into echo, sorry [10:59] solidnail: words fail me. [10:59] Epicenter padon me?

[11:04] all the pakis please stand up please stand up [11:05] * solidnail jonybravo iraq war is going on and you are doing this [11:05] gabba, at least one feature is for battery usage [11:05] gabbarinho, powersaving tweaks mainly from what ive seen. [11:05] ah [11:06] there was a big stink a few months back about hard drives getting set to too strong a powersaving mode under ubuntu also. [11:06] i noticed that my display dims automatically after about 15 seconds of inactivity [11:06] ah [11:06] all the pakis please stand up please stand up [11:06] Other then that - i really havent noticed much differance. :0 [11:06] i guess there are still kinks to be worked out [11:07] but as someone who stayed away from linux for ten years after one bad experience i have to say things are much, much easier now :) [11:07] I just read it can cause "odd behaviors" [11:07] hello everyone.

[11:07] gabbarinho, what if you had a bad experience with windows... You would have to go back to the C64 then. :) [11:07] i guess the difference there is that i know how to use windows, so if a problem arises, i usually know what to do with it :) [11:07] hey guys , i need to install the lzo library , so can anyone tell me the rest of the command : apt-get install ...... ???? [11:08] !find lzo [11:08] Found: liblzo2-2, liblzo2-dev, libcompress-lzo-perl, liblzo-dev, liblzo1 (and 1 others) [11:08] are there any good flash editing programs for ubuntu? [11:08] mich54, one of those Im guessing. :) [11:08] i hung onto an aging powerbook for two years just for the expose feature. so being able to run something like compiz on all my computers is a life changer for me :) [11:08] Dr_willis : thx :) [11:09] I have a problem: I compiler a module for my usb to serial adapter,but when I run insmod, I got an error: -1 Unknown symbol in module [11:09] anyone can give me an idea? [11:10] i dont find expose that needed under linux/kde/gnome. plus the compiz features that are similer.. dont work too good with my dual monitor setup. :) [11:10] I have a problem: I compile a module for my usb to serial adapter,but when I run insmod, I got an error: -1 Unknown symbol in module [11:10] anyone can help me? [11:10] ah [11:11] well the multiple desktops alone make handling multiple windows much easier [11:11] its just easier to manage all the open windows with gnome, then it seems to be with OS-X [11:11] yes. it works differently, but just as well or better :) [11:11] i'm surprised how well it works with my laptop video [11:11] hi,ever1 [11:12] night all.. [11:12] i've got a problem,how to change awn icons? [11:14] I have a problem: I compile a module for my usb to serial adapter,but when I run insmod, I got an error: -1 Unknown symbol in module, can anyone help me? [11:14] anyone can help me change awn icons?i dont like the file browser icon and neither the terminal icon [11:15] Right click on an icon and select change icon [11:15] Sometimes you need to restart awn to see changes. [11:16] Also, if you have the taskmanager enabled, usually the default icon is used when multiple windows are open [11:16] hello [11:16] In which case you could change the default program icon [11:16] Survivorman: it doesnt work,i tried right click,but no option [11:17] It just worked for me... what does happen? [11:17] Anything? [11:17] I've just installed Ubuntu and I'm trying to get my Artec T14 digitv device work [11:18] Survivorman: i can only change trash icon by right click [11:18] orgedus: does ubuntu have a driver for it? [11:18] yeah [11:18] and Kaffeine found the channels but I can only hear voice, no picture [11:19] That's very odd... have you run awn prior? Are you running an older version? [11:19] Survivorman: no other version, this one is the first time i install [11:19] and when I start Kaffeine it says "Can't bind info socket" [11:20] try closing awn and restarting. it can be buggy, so you might want to give it a go and try again. [11:20] I have a problem: I compile a module for my usb to serial adapter,but when I run insmod, I got an error: -1 Unknown symbol in module, can anyone help me? [11:20] I've had mixed results with awn in the past, though at the moment it works well for me. [11:20] Survivorman: by the way,when i right click the menu icon,it opens the menu as left click did [11:21] i am thinking of buying a samsung media player but i want to make sure it works okay with ubuntu; i don't know much about how to tell. here is the specs page: http://www.samsung.com/my/products/audio/mp3player/yp_p2ab.asp?page=Specifications [11:21] let me know what you think [11:21] magnetron: KMPlayer can't find my device, although I've installed that [11:21] Survivorman: should i shut down x? [11:21] Well that is odd... you could give it a try. [11:22] Survivorman: thanks anyway [11:22] np [11:23] yeah,is there a awn channel? [11:23] can somebody help me with my Artec T14 === lordmetroid_ is now known as LordMetroid [11:26] just so every1 knows. if your lan hostnames dont resolve but you can ping ip's. you can try "...and the "wins" parameter needs to be added to the "hosts:" line in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file".

[11:47] yeah reinstall ubuntu [11:47] lol no way [11:48] cyroul - you could run dpkg -l to get a list of all installed packages - then reinstall with apt-get via a script - just an idea! [11:48] I dont see any difference from reinstalling all packages [11:48] good idea [11:51] ie PKGLIST=`dpkg -l` ... for p in $PKGLIST; do; apt-get --reinstall -s install $p; done [11:52] danand: nice one thks [11:52] hey i have aerious probelm, i was altering some application persmissions in /usr/bin and when i restarted sound stopped working ! and firefox is giving me this message "component returned failure code:0*80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nslstringbundle.formatstringfromname] !!!! can i fix this ? [11:52] cyroul - you'll need to sort out the package name from the output of dpkg -l though - using "cut" would be easiest i think [11:52] with awk [11:52] hi any good front-end for xmame under gnome? [11:53] yodude: reinstall firefox :) [11:54] cyroul: and what about sound not working ? [11:56] cyroul - PKGLIST=`dpkg -l | cut --delimiter=" " --fields=3` [11:57] cyroul - check that though - no implied warranties etc :) [11:58] please can someone help me get the sound working ? [11:59] Yodude maybe i can help you [11:59] !sound | Yodude [11:59] what is your problem [11:59] ? [11:59] Yodude: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [12:01] danand: dpkg -l | awk -F" " '{print $2}' works fine [12:01] coincoin161: sound is totlay screwed, when i click on the volume control icon i get this message : No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. [12:01] Can i ask a question? maybe the reason why everything has been so "unstable" (as I describe it), is because of a wrong ISO image. For example a wrong processor architecture. I have a AMD Sempron 2800+ processor. I don't know the functionality of the hardware in this PC. Can anybody help me select the right iso image? [12:03] Arelis, i368, if your Sempron supports AMD64, x64 works too [12:03] i386 would be just fine [12:04] cyroul - cool :) - just watch the first entries in that list - think we've got a few lines that aren't packages - thats the same with cut or awk methods [12:05] hello [12:05] hi,still the problem,i cant change my awn icon,any1 help me [12:06] can someone tell me how to get delgue to download straight into NTFS partition, when i was using linux mint it did it, but it ubuntu its not doing it [12:07] howdo i install quake3??

Agree though - much better than a reinstall [12:19] is it possible to download the whole repo? [12:19] hi, anybody have thinkpad t20? i have problem with acpi/apm computer dont restart,hibernate etc. [12:19] cyroul - *reinstall=complete fresh install i mean [12:20] Seveas: i think its already mounting, i mean i can read and write to it, its just that the torrent clients arent able to do that [12:20] mounted* [12:20] danand: aptitude reinstall should do the job properly [12:22] online_ - think you can use a script like mkdebmirror (or something like that) - this creates a mirror of the repositories on the local system. You'll need _plenty_ of disk space though. [12:23] danand_: the reason why I am asking is because I have this problem [12:23] svn: In directory 'trunk/src/target/OM-2007.2/libraries/moko-gtk-engine' [12:23] svn: Can't open 'trunk/src/target/OM-2007.2/libraries/moko-gtk-engine/.svn/tmp/COPYING.tmp.tmp': Operation not permitted [12:23] I have the whole dir on my disk but it is missing the file [12:23] for some strange reason it is not there [12:23] therefore I can not carry on and my build script does not work [12:24] online_: that error is referring to the repository not your local copy [12:24] right, I though that it was referring to my local disk [12:25] yes I have checked the repo, and have found that I can not navigate beyond /.svn, meaning that I can not see that folder [12:25] made this conclusion, AD7six, what can I do ? [12:25] I'm confused about updated dell bios. I see this beta firmware-tools from dell, but it doesn't look ready for prime time. And ubuntuforums have some very confusing directions. Any pointers? [12:26] online_, contact the person who maintainse that repo and ask them to fix it [12:26] Hi all. I'm trying to recover my bootloader that Ubuntu installed, but i have two harddrives on my computer. How do i know which harddrive the MBR is on? [12:26] cyroul - agreed - aptitude tends to be a bit "kinder" than plain apt-get [12:26] dell notbook supports ubuntu well [12:26] Arelis, it's on the first one [12:26] hi! Anyone knows with what tool I can "copy" let's say pages 100-150 from a 500pges pdf to a new pdf? [12:27] hetauma: pdftk is your friend [12:27] jimcooncat, ty [12:27] AD7six: how do you know that it is on the server rather than local? [12:27] Seveas: It's more complicated than that: Before i had two HD's, the Ubuntu one was the first one. That had the bootloader on it. My dad added the Windows disk to my PC, and made it the master drive. So now i'm confused. [12:27] i need some help with xe [12:27] n [12:27] is there a tool for extracting all the text from a PDF? [12:28] hetauma: it's a command line tool. you would "burst" those pages you want into separate pdfs, then "cat" them back into your new pdf [12:28] danand: sure it is, very good with broken packages [12:28] what patches are applied to linux-source-2.6.22 to get the XEN stuff in there? [12:28] what programs are good for managing cvs i.e. like deleting projects? [12:28] &nick fuzzy84 [12:28] mohbana, welcome to the 21st century, use a real revision control system [12:28] Hi guys I have downloaded all the plug-ins for totems, and it is still saying pug in needed when I wan tot watch a dvd [12:28] mornin === fuzzy is now known as fuzzy84 [12:29] OwnLinux: you have any tips for bios updating, please?

[12:29] Arelis, check in the bios which one you boot from [12:29] cyroul: ty [12:29] it shows an on screen display, but the volume isn't actually being changed [12:29] mohbana, sucks then :) [12:29] Seveas: the first one. [12:29] hi.. how could i use ubuntu to backup my xp running BSOD in safe mode =p [12:30] well are there any cvs tools? [12:30] Arelis, so my first answer applies :) [12:30] Seveas: is it safe to overwrite that bootloader? [12:30] i need to mount them up and back up documents and so on on my main hdd [12:30] sunseeker888 - do you have ffmpeg installed - try sudo apt-get -s install ffmpeg - think that could possibly help [12:30] AD7six: so it is not necessarily that the file is not there but could be that it is simply not accessible [12:30] Arelis, as safe as it is when installing ubuntu [12:31] I know there is a way to report bugs in ubuntu but is there a way to request hardware support for future releases? I own a dell and couldn't for the life of me get a pci video card to work. I always thought it was a conflict with just that card but after some searching I found that it has to do with the fact I own a dell and that it's a common issue for users. The fix was pretty straight forward once I knew what the issue was and it w [12:31] what programs are good for managing cvs i.e. like deleting projects? [12:31] Seveas: but the bootloader is on the first disk, which is the one dad forbids me to change. [12:31] alanbshepard70, if it doesn't work out of the box that is a bug and should be filed as such [12:31] Seveas: will switching boot order work? [12:32] Arelis, it could [12:32] depending on how confused grub gets :) [12:32] Seveas: I'll try. I'll be back if it goes wrong :) [12:32] amzingly they did work before i got fglrx to work with 3d acceleration [12:32] Hi, anybody here working with netatalk on ubuntu 7.10 ? I did a default apt-get install , the service is running, I see the client connecting int he log file, but the client (max os) says it can't connect to the server [12:32] does anyone know if its possible to make xterm not scroll down to the bottom when something is printed to standard out? [12:32] Seveas: Ok, I wasn't sure what it was considered to be. I'll file a bug report. Thanks. [12:33] <[BT]JaC> what are hld's [12:34] eshaase - I had that problem - very annoying when your using bitchx in a terminal.

Is there a step by step guide for printers and figuring out what is wrong? === tyczek is now known as Tyczek [12:39] eshaase - just checked for xterm - you need to use the -si argument - this stops xterm scrolling to the bottom of the screen on output [12:39] i need a server with root access. but i dont have much data transfer and connectivity speed requirments. can any one recomend a good lowest cost dedi.. and with root acces. vps dds ..? [12:40] hallo zusammen [12:40] hello. after an update yesterday my madiwifi atheros drivers seem to have vanished? [12:40] RoboCop: I have a recommendation, but it's probably not cool to advertise here. Should I pm you? [12:41] jimcooncat ok. pm me [12:41] danand_: just tried this out, it holds the position in the window but text still scrolls through, i want to hold a partricular sectin of text [12:41] RoboCop depending on where you are, there are a few places really, i don't use them but bytemark in the uk have nice xen hosting, the guy who runs debian-administration.org works for them, maybe worth a look [12:42] hi, i deleted the default user i made at ubuntu installation and creatd a new user, now which all groups should i add the "new" user to ? [12:42] sn0 - i need minminu cost. with no restrictions. ircd webhosting. i can do anything [12:43] RoboCop fyi http://www.bytemark.co.uk/ [12:43] jimcooncat good! whats shared uml? [12:43] personally i rent servers in another country co-located where bandwidth is cheaper (NL/DE) :) [12:43] well, since others are doing it: linode.com [12:43] eshaase - hmm... i have that problem too with eterm. Try man xterm to see if there are any more options that could help you out ... you'll just have to slog through that man - its rather a big one :) [12:44] sn0 thanks! [12:44] your welcome :) [12:44] jimcooncat i dont want restrictions. i may run ircd. webhosting. etc [12:44] danand_: yeah, that why i'm asking, alot of the options i don't even understand =) [12:44] sn0 any more? [12:44] RoboCop: User-mode linux, it's another type of virtualization similar, but not quite, to xen [12:45] Anyone know if it is possible to make Kaffeine use the correct EPG channel numbers when watching Freeview (DVB) in the UK?

But there are some ripoffs, too. And a lot won't host IRC. [12:46] hi, how can i remove whole default kernel? including grub entries? [12:46] RoboCop not really, i use hetzner for dedicated co-lo, more money though :) [12:46] eshaase - :) stick with it - getting your hands dirty is the best way - just ask someone here if you get stuck [12:47] This is a bigger question and I can't seem to find a solution.

[12:52] _blue: You shouldn't need to if the router is set up correctly... [12:52] if you let the ubuntu installer use the "default" setup for partitioner, does it put /home on a seperate partition?

Anyone know if there's another repo i can use? [13:01] Hi. I cannot manually do cifs mount as user (I can as root), even though I have given user permission to user: sudo chmod u+s `which mount.cifs`. fstab is not really an option as the share is sometimes not there. i forced it using chmod 755 but mount.cifs stilll returns an error. Only sudo works and it's really confusing [13:01] zh: fwbuilder very good [13:01] fwbuilder will help you a lot with a nice GUI [13:02] thanks [13:02] where can i learn about file rights ?

Anyone know how to config ctrlproxy? :) [13:09] Why does Ubuntu only make the binary version of ffmpeg available, and not source? Doesn't seem to be in the spirit of open source.

[13:12] lordleemo: Hopefully it's just a version thing then... [13:12] SmashCat: could be libavcodec-dev [13:12] yes [13:13] So libavcodec-dev == ffmpeg-dev ?

[13:15] Sup mah bros! [13:15] linking against ffmpeg usually means linking against libavcodec. ffmpeg is a project consisting of several parts, the ffmpeg package itself contains little more than a frontend afaik. [13:16] jrib: So hardy is another repository I need to add? [13:16] SmashCat: no, that will break your system. I'm just telling you that that page lists the name of the dependencies you need [13:17] bahr: this tuto is more appropriate for the cube http://www.thelinuxnewbie.com/2007/10/21/running-desktop-visual-effects-on-gutsy-gibbon-ubuntu-710/ [13:17] jrib: Ok, thanks.

[13:32] Xsss4hell_, popey: agreed [13:33] boglizk, more or less I use privoxy for the proxy [13:33] dandand_: thnx a lot [13:33] Yodude - :) nice one - at least your working - but that does seem strange [13:33] jorisslob: apparently some peeps have had the same problem can you try doing this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/117825/comments/29 [13:33] yes^but I'll install ubuntu hardy heron on april ;) I'll have enough experience with kernels and dependancy problem until then :D [13:33] dandand_: yes i know, and i'm curious why didn't the "audioi" group appear in the GUI user administration tool ? [13:34] Xsss4hell_: there is a kernel vulnerability right now though.. you'd leave yourself vulnerable for 2 months [13:34] dandand: i was tempering with the /usr/bin permissions maybe i slipped an did something wrong [13:35] I have 2.6.24-7 [13:35] Yodude - wierd - the audio group doesn't appear in my GUI tool either [13:35] dandand_: and a lot of other groups too [13:35] Yodude - perhaps a reason to stick with CLI for some things :) [13:35] And I still can update to the next kernel when I want to, right? [13:36] dandand_: yeah totally [13:36] Yodude, danand_: properties -> user privileges -> use audio/sound [13:36] dandand: good ol' UNIX terminals never die [13:36] jrib what's your expert opinion about my dependancy problem? [13:37] Xsss4hell_: what files do you have in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ? [13:37] jrib: oh yeah you're right [13:37] jrib - Ahh! Got it - still prefer CLI though [13:37] jrib: but they have been put into the groups section, a lot more intuitive i think [13:37] anyway i'm rocking on with music now hehe [13:37] Yodude - :) [13:37] lordleemo: Ok, I will try with a complete restart and cupsys restart [13:38] dandand_: again thnx a bunch, i knew a fix was available and that i didn't need to reinstall lol -- then it wouldn't be linux would it ? [13:38] jrib /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [13:38] jorisslob: ok m8 apparently its worked well for a few others do it as stated there m8 [13:39] Xsss4hell_: run 'sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy build-essential g++ libc6-dev' and pastebin the output [13:39] Yodude - not really - theres always an alternative to reinstall. glad i could help.

You got it when you ran that script most likely. If you read the script, it adds hardy repositories to your sources.list, upgrades some packages, and then removes it from your sources.list [13:55] videotrans - DVD authoring utilities [13:55] is there anyway to get DVD-RAM support for UDF drag drop interface [13:56] Jangari, dvd95 looks like a good one - thanks [13:56] ?

[13:57] oh damn..me fool [13:57] guys how to have a frame around icons in my desktop , frames that is like a box which are colored and gives it a better eye candy for my icons [13:57] the only solution is to upgrade to hardy? [13:58] Xsss4hell_, what is your problem? [13:58] lordleemo: Nope, no effect, still having the same problem. [13:58] how can I check upload dowload trafic in terminal [13:58] anybody [13:58] Xsss4hell_: if you want a stable system, you should probably reinstall gutsy. You could try to finish the upgrade to hardy too if you want, but then you will be running a development version [13:58] why ubuntu uses FIREFOX instead of iceweasel ? [13:58] wtf is iceweasel? [13:58] ajitam, tcpdump [13:58] firefox is greater wald0 :) [13:59] iceweasel is firefox without the logo... :) Because that is copyrighted [13:59] abdulla: who said that :D [13:59] wald0, because ubuntu isn't as anal as debian about logos [13:59] Jangari: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IceWeasel [13:59] LOL [13:59] assasukasse, its greater then opera aswell :) [13:59] incorrect I can't compile gst-pulse becaue I have not build-essential, because I have kernel 2.6.24 and guty plus hardy a bunch of hardy packages, now I don't have a hardy repo in sources.list. So back to the beginning: I can't compile :( [13:59] Seveas: is not an anal problem, is a LEGAL problem [13:59] so, ubuntu is making illegal things ? [14:00] firefox has addons which support greater expansion for the firefox which induces it for a greater result forexample ( Noscript addons and ADBLOCK plug , etc.... ) [14:00] no, they're careful not to encroach on others' copyrights [14:00] incorrect: a get tcpdump: no suitable device found [14:00] anyone? how to stream video from scsi adapter? [14:01] what would be the correct package to file this bug against -- https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/190677 [14:01] guys any1 know how to make frames for icons to make it look eye candy i want to have frames around the icons in mydesktop [14:01] ajitam, you want to see traffic, use tcpdump, dunno what get tcpdump is all about [14:01] jorisslob: try totally removing hp m8 followed by a reinstall [14:01] jrib, incorrect: My aim was to update to Kernel 2.6.24 (latest stable) and have all gutsy updates, Plus Skype(without microphone bug due to pulseaudio) and Pulseaudio as default. gst-pulse should fix that.. [14:01] it was a road to hell... [14:01] Xsss4hell_, well you can get the kernels source yourself [14:01] make-kpkg blah [14:02] Is it possible to re-map keys when a window has focus? I would like Alt-Tab to be sent to my VNC window when the VNC has focus; but to be handled normally when the VNC window does not have focus (focus changed using the mouse ofc) [14:02] Xsss4hell_, don't expect us to be able to give you support if you're using custom kernels. [14:02] incorrect: but the problem is, I used this script: http://axebase.net/blog/?p=178 [14:02] Seveas: do u think it is fair what you have done? [14:02] PriceChild: It's hardy's own kernel [14:02] assasukasse, yes, trolls are not welcome here [14:02] whats up [14:02] Xsss4hell_, hardy isn't released. We don't support it here. [14:02] everyone?

[14:03] PriceChild, incorrect, jrib I'm absoulutely satisfied with your support: You're really a very friendly staff [14:03] assasukasse, ircops don't bother themselves with channel issues.

I can do it manually but want to add it to my recover disc [14:04] :D but you've a real ubuntu heart! [14:04] chazco, I think a howto on the forums was approved recently to get that done on boot. In the "howtos tricks and tips" forum [14:05] thx anyway, altough there is no hope for my system [14:05] so no one here uses DVD-RAM discs eh/? [14:05] * knifeprty slaps speedcore around a bit with a large trout [14:05] as you told.. [14:05] hello. how do i activate the gnome splash screen?

[14:05] speedcore, /var/log i guess [14:05] knifeprty, this is a support channel, stop with the offtopic chat please [14:05] PriceChild - will have a look, but its probably the manual method (its quite tricky to script it) [14:06] guys i want to have a frame around my icons any ideas???? this is an example of what i mean but its not what i want http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=69347&file1=69347-1.jpg&file2=&file3=&name=LinPhone+Icons [14:06] Pricechild: and that's the record the bios finds at boot? [14:06] Xsss4hell_: reinstalling gutsy is the best thing to do in my opinion. And don't run magic scripts without reading what they do. Feel free ask someone here about things like that before you do [14:06] speedcore, the bios? [14:06] vista rules ball of puñets % and of pure corage ia me voy % [14:06] jrib thank you! [14:07] I mean.. how does the computer know that there is a bootable os on the harddrive choosen in bios? [14:07] I'll ask next time, before shredding my systems core ;) [14:07] hi, i have auzen x-plosion i cant seem to get surround sound please help, the sound card detected is CMI8738-MC8 [14:07] wow what kind of phone do you need to install Ubuntu Mobile? [14:07] but there is no front,center,rear etc in the volume mixer [14:07] How can I downgrade an update... ? For some reason I have lost all sound and by the looks of it xine/alsa/oss wont see any of my sound (onboard card nvidia ac97). It was only recent like in last 2-3 days [14:07] speedcore: the MBR (master boot record) is stored in a specific place on a phsyical harddisk. The MBR tells the bios where to look on which real partition to find the proper boot loader such as GRUB. Ubuntu will, by default, replace the MBR with its own pointing at GRUB [14:07] chazco, can't find what I remembered.. but http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2082674 ? [14:08] PriceChild - I had to do quite a lot to enable it on mine (but not that hack...), what i'm looking for is how to automate it [14:08] ok [14:09] In one of the boot scripts you uncomment some stuff, then you have to edit one of the udev rules to give permissions out better [14:09] Wibble.. the thing is I need to restore a system.. [14:09] But doing those require sed magic (i guess), which is quite tricky [14:09] speedcore: Look at grub and restoring the MBR [14:10] Heya, can somone here help me get Jackd working [14:10] i keep getting somthing about kernel resolution to slow [14:10] Wibble: is it ok just do an install of ubuntu on the new disk.. and then boot from live cd.. mount that disk.. and the old disk.. erase all on the new disk.. with the information from the old disk. [14:11] Wibble: I guess. if I just copy everything from the old disk.. to the new disk.. that there will be no correct MBR [14:11] speedcore: What exactly is the problem and how would you *ideally* get it solved [14:11] the MBR is not in a partition, therefore copying files will not copy it. [14:11] i m looking for help regarding PnP ACPI error during the boot, can' t find anything off the internet, just bug reports Any idea [14:12] complete hack, look at the packages that aptitude wants to remove, copy them into a text file, write a shell script that then runs aptitude, let it remove the packages then manually install them [14:12] My harddrive is broken... I got a backup.. which I can mount.. I also got a new drive... but I figure I just can't copy everything.. because I need to get a MBR on the new disk too [14:12] has to be an easier way.. [14:12] i have a microsoft web cam , its not in the supported list....now what?? [14:13] :( [14:13] cerberus: easier way to *do* what? [14:13] its got my micro phone too [14:13] Wibble, aptitude decided that a load of packages where unrequired (marked as auto installed but no longer dependencies for anything) and wanted to remove them, some of them where critical packages [14:13] thyultimate: have u plugged it yet ?* [14:13] speedcore: Ok - yes, you can just install on the new HD then copy all the files over on to that. the MBR will be set up on the new disk and the grub files from the old disk will be copied over [14:14] yes [14:14] Wibble, basically I had to let it remove them, then write a shell script to manually install them all back again [14:14] cyroul: yes [14:14] oh ok [14:14] cerberus: I guess deleting the current package state didn't solve it? [14:14] wibble: THe backup is not all the partitions of the drive... just all files that resided in / [14:14] thyultimate: do a lsusb what have you got [14:15] cyroul: errr...enter lsusb in terminal?? [14:15] Wibble, a) couldnt figure out how to do that b) Im not sure Id want to lose all the state, ideally I just want it to unmarkauto the stuff its decided I dont need [14:15] yep [14:15] cerberus, you can do that in synaptic [14:15] speedcore: that is fine - the files GRUB needs are in /boot. If you just copy over them on a newly installed system and it should be fine [14:15] Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 [14:15] Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 [14:15] Bus 001 Device 002: ID 045e:00f5 Microsoft Corp.

I dom't understand? [14:16] oh [14:16] $ [14:16] so how do i use it? [14:16] speedcore: install on the new harddisk - that will set the MBR. Then copy the files over.

[14:34] peppers: you shouldn't mess with LKMs without knowing what you're doing.. [14:34] and where is the source from? [14:34] erawfish: I compiled it on it's own (just the wacom driver not the whole kernel) and then copied it to the correct directory [14:34] depmod -e didn't give out any error either [14:34] where is the source from? [14:34] linuxwacom prject [14:34] Hello.. How i can fully delete programm? [14:34] project* [14:34] is feisty-backports relatively stable?

Done [14:40] JustV, please don't paste multiple lines - max two but ehh that won't work cd ~ and then to the sudo apt-get remove --purge phpsysinfo [14:40] stupid question, is there a remote chance that copying /usr/bin/sh from the live cd over to the ubuntu on the hdd will solve the problem?

It will make me keep using VESA and if i try to set it back to i810 or even intel driver, everthing goes back to VESA [14:41] ompaul: thks [14:41] erawfish, because the dir is not empty, obviously [14:41] peppers: At this point it cant hurt...

[14:49] good afternoon [14:50] hi daft question: I cannot seem to get rid of old soundcards, where is the config file (must be in home) where these are described, they make my gnome mixer totally convoluted [14:51] how to copy file from ubuntu to windowsxp via virtualbox. virtualbox-devices/select folder..... in windowsxp start/run/cmd net use x: \\vbox.... - error 1231. [14:51] Jack_Sparrow: I am dealing with it for 2 days now. This is the xorg.conf I was using before, I got it from a backup. [14:53] Jack_Sparrow: for some reason the log file says it's using xorg.conf.failsafe instead, but even if i replace it with the same contents of xorg.conf it will give me the same VESA drivers [14:53] I followed http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/18/removing-kde-icons-in-gnome-remove-gnome-icons-in-kde/ to remove KDE apps from the GNOME menus and vice versa; how do I undo it. [14:53] MrPiracy: Since you already have a backup would you mind trying something for me... pull line 33 for me.... [14:54] peace: don't virtualbox, but you can use smb to transfer your files [14:54] Jack_Sparrow: line 33 of what? [14:54] I've got a printer problem... I can't print from evince, there's no printer listed, even though I've a default set up. More details: I'm using Feisty, I've connected to a printer on a winXP machine and test printed. The printer is my one and only, and it's the default (according to system / administration / printing)... But I can't print to it from evince. When I hit file/print print, there's no printers listed. In firefox there [14:55] join #ubuntu-fr [14:55] MrPiracy: remove line 33 of that xorg.conf and retry it... [14:55] Jack_Sparrow: ok, i'll do that and will come back here === epifanio_ is now known as epifanio [14:55] MrPiracy: thanks [14:56] problem solved..thanks good luck [14:56] ok, [14:56] I booted the live cd, /bin/sh is there [14:56] I ran e2fsck and it says everything's allright [14:56] any help? [14:58] Jack_Sparrow: still there? [14:58] hi there. I'm having problems changing Deskbar Applet from F3 to something else. I've managed to change it using gconf-editor, but now I can't assign F3 to nothing else. can somebody help me? [14:58] peppers: can you boot in safe mode, coz if you can, transfer your files on usb and copy them over [14:58] peppers: Yes, I can help, my first suggestion.. please stop hitting the enter key as often..:) [14:58] i need a software that plays 3gp files === kandinski is now known as kandinski_ [14:58] Jack_Sparrow: did that ... still have the same problem [14:59] i want to encrypt my root fs [14:59] i have a new disk and would like to encrypt all partitions on it.. [14:59] tapas, the alternate cd will do it for you easily [14:59] !alternate | tapas [14:59] tapas: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD. It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal [14:59] khelll: have you tried to play it with vlc?? [14:59] ok, sorry. cyroul, I can't. when booting, it says that /bin/sh couldn't be found when running rc-something :S and sugests running e2fsck because somethign is corupted [14:59] i have a system already up and running.. i would like to copy my current root fs to the new partition. [15:00] Jack_Sparrow: funny cos before the login page i see this "low graphics mode" popup and rite after i login into gnome it says the X config is different from GNOME and it asks me which one i want to use [15:00] I booted the live cd, mounted the ubuntu partition and checked. both /bin/sh and /bin/dash are there and work. and I ran e2fsck and it gave no error [15:00] tapas, I would suggest copying your home folder and "/msg ubotu clone" instead. [15:00] tapas, its a lot less hassle. [15:00] Does anybody know how i can install Ubuntu on a pendrive and then boot using the livecd and the pendrive, like in this video?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URPLClzWehY [15:00] PriceChild: probably.. [15:01] tapas, and "should" be the same result... [15:01] peppers silly question, but when you booted the live CD, you did check the /bin on your HD not from the CD? ;) [15:01] PriceChild: i would like to understand though how one overcomes the difficulty of having the initrd lie on an encrypted fs [15:01] tapas, you're leaving my comfort zone. [15:01] yes Wibble. I did. I mounted /dev/hda2 in /media/disk and checked the contents of that [15:01] MrPiracy: Still runs back to failsafe.. run dpkg.. again.. but select only the intel driver, and use tab and accept all other defaults... I will be looking up something else on your monitor while you do that. [15:01] i know how to create encrypted partitions with luks and have done so successfullly in the past.. [15:01] yup [15:01] arelis: there are loads of howtos out there about this, look on help.ubuntu.ciom first [15:02] PriceChild: ok.. if i find no other way i might resort to downloading and burning the alternate installer image === readyx is now known as ready [15:02] Jack_Sparrow: ok, would u give me the command line again pls? [15:03] having problems installing ubuntu cant run local scripts forum says its the radeon HD 2600xt [15:04] so, anyone know what could be happening?

[15:06] brobostigun: Conky: can't load font 'arial' [15:07] brobostigun: i already install that font [15:07] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [15:08] Sorry was reading the manual on your monitor [15:08] meezfoghi: i am not sure what you mean, load font arial where?? [15:08] How can I set the variable FOO to be "foo'bar!" without the first and last quote? having trouble escaping it [15:08] bolt: FOO=foo\'bar [15:09] Foo = foo'bar! [15:09] brobostigun: from conky [15:09] brobostigon: that leaves me with the > prompt [15:10] jrib: and that sets the variable to foo\'bar, including the \ and without the exclamation mark :/ [15:10] Can you set an env var to include another env var? I want PATH to include $wibble - but I want to change $wibble when I like and have $PATH kept in sync [15:10] i m looking for a dolution regarding PnP ACPI error during the boot, can' t find anything off the internet, just bug reports [15:11] bolt: FOO=foo\'bar! works for me. [15:11] MrPiracy: The refresh on your monitor is off, only by 1 each way.. but I have seen simpler things cause problems http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Philips+monitor+190C+manual+pdf&btnG=Search is your manual 55 - 75 not 56 - 76 cant hurt to change that as well [15:11] bolt: what shell are you using? [15:11] Wibble-: bash [15:11] me too. And as I said, it WFM. [15:11] Jack_Sparrow: grrrrr.... i had tried it before, it failed on the same place: attempting to detect my monitor [15:11] lol, I'm downloading with kftpgrabber and playing music. the music skips because kftpgrabber uses to much cpu. Task scheduling really needs some attention. [15:11] i have problem about conky [15:12] brobostigun: Conky: can't load font 'arial' [15:12] MrPiracy: Dont let it sdetect the monitor settings [15:12] Wibble-: are you sure you are using the right ' character? [15:12] Wibble-: it's the single quote one [15:12] ok, I copied the old wacom.ko back to place [15:12] single quote, not back tick? yes. [15:12] gonna reboot and try it out. [15:12] meezfoghi: no idea, sorry. [15:12] Wibble-: which leaves bash waiting for the other part [15:12] MrPiracy: The refresh on your monitor is off, only by 1 each way.. but I have seen simpler things cause problems http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Philips+monitor+190C+manual+pdf&btnG=Search is your manual 55 - 75 not 56 - 76 cant hurt to change that as well [15:12] but it works with backquote too :) [15:12] bolt: No - you escape the ' with \. Then it doesn't wait for any more. [15:13] Jack_Sparrow: so should i just change it in my xorg.conf and reboot? [15:14] yes [15:15] Jack_Sparrow: ok, i'll be back [15:15] MrPiracy: And leave out the video ram line as well [15:15] Hey, got a quick command line question: I'm trying to do cp [directory] "/usr/apps/whatever/" [15:15] and it seems to spit out the destination [15:15] how is that line supposed to be formed? [15:16] dan_l: cp -r /usr/apps/sourcedirectory /usr/apps/whatever/ ? [15:16] cp "source" "destinantion" [15:16] dan_l: Not trying to be flip.. but you know you can always do man cp or man any cli command for help [15:17] Jack_Sparrow: Sorry. I was thinking that the problem is the way I'm referencing the destination [15:17] sudo cp simple $/usr/share/apps/yakauake/ [15:18] I tried that without the $ too. I'm just trying to figure out what the problem with the dest is. [15:18] i am trying to reconnect to my 'screen' however it says can not open /dev/pts/0 [15:18] Jack_Sparrow: same thing man, as if gutsy doesn't get its settings from this file [15:19] Jack_Sparrow: nothing that i change in this file seems to change anything after i reboot [15:19] MrPiracy: If it cant use the settings you put in there, it will trash it and use failsafe. [15:19] Hi all... How do I modify kernel commandline options so that they don't get overwritten by update-grub on the next kernel install? [15:19] gah. this is ridiculous. I finally got my variable set right, but wpa_passphrase still complains. I have a key with 63 characters in it, and it contains both ' and ! which need to be escaped. When I do so, wpa_passphrase includes the escape characters in its count, telling me the key is too long. it isn't! if I replace the special characters with normal ones, it runs just fine. arg! [15:20] I think this wireless network is linux-secure or something [15:20] Jack_Sparrow: well, that's what the log file says ... it is using xorg.conf.failsafe, but i dont know why [15:20] dan_l: what are you referencing with the word simple [15:20] ls [15:20] oups [15:20] Jack_Sparrow: i have been using it for a while, but if i apply the updates, it starts to happen [15:21] Jack_Sparrow: i have the whole partition backed up, and i rolled back to it like 5 times already [15:22] MrPiracy: What sources do you have in your sources.list [15:22] MrPiracy: Would you mind posting that. [15:22] Jack_Sparrow: no problem, hold on [15:23] Jack_Sparrow: aw, what's the path to it? [15:23] why isn't documentroot specified in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and why is it ignored when it is set [15:24] MrPiracy: etc/apt you caught me reading again [15:24] carndt-> could it possibly be in one of the other include'ed config files? [15:24] is there a hardy specific irc channel/ [15:24] for? [15:24] Ahh found it [15:24] nope its missing in action everywhere! [15:25] muesli: yes ubuntu+1 [15:25] for 2.6.24 specific kernel questions [15:25] Jack_Sparrow: thnx [15:25] np [15:26] Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55476/ [15:26] thanks [15:27] I can't seem to find how I can use irssi+xmonad, xmonad uses the alt-key for "everything" and I can't seem to get irssi to work nice with this [15:27] any idea? I don't find anything nice on google, I know that I saw something before however [15:28] patogen: you can use esc instead of alt in irssi [15:28] i am trying to start a service using screen, however it keeps trying to bind to an existing pts [15:28] patogen: like esc 2 to switch to window 2 [15:29] patogen: yeah ESC *then* window key [15:29] *window number/letter [15:29] incorrect, http://www.amitu.com/blog/2004/12/screen-howto.html might be what you want [15:29] MrPiracy: remark out the last 4 lines with # ... then refresh the sources and do your updates and see if that changes anything [15:30] ri47614 and astro76: Thank you. I would like to be able to use the window key instead, but esc is good for now :) [15:30] thank you ompaul [15:30] Jack_Sparrow: ok [15:30] Jack_Sparrow: i'll be back [15:30] MrPiracy: I will be here [15:30] is it possible to allow user to change their passwords (via passwd command) without a need of writing the old one? [15:30] yes [15:30] carndt-> dyah look here /etc/apache2/sites-available/default [15:31] hey somehow I changed the key binding for my "Del" button to open up System Monitor... so now it doesn't delete a file, or the following character, but instead opens the System Monitor... any idea how I can change that back via console... cuz I cant find it anywhere else :-/ [15:31] hello, just to say I solved the problem [15:32] my 50-xserver-xorg udev file was faulty :S [15:32] incorrect, enjoy [15:32] Jack_Sparrow: update manager is showing the same updates available (this last time i didnt apply them all). there's firefox left, 15mb download [15:32] back to ubuntu, it's working fine. thanks for the help [15:32] MrPink control-H for vim is delete chars [15:33] hi :-) anybody here running apache2 with mod_deflate? [15:33] Hi all. I've been blindly using Ubuntu, not knowing if my hardware supports it or not. Can you guys help me with issues i'm having with hardware and tell me if my computer is fully compatible with Ubuntu? I've made a whole document to ask a proper question. It's in pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/4411/ <-- Don't let it's lenghtyness scare you away, please. [15:33] MrPiracy: So you did updates except firefox and you are still using intel driver? [15:33] amenado: The problem is that everywhere my delete button opens up System Monitor... and I wont the standard key binding for delete :( [15:34] MrPink-> one of these days i'll get around learning that too, xmodmap and remapping keys.. [15:35] Jack_Sparrow: ok, if i restore this partition, everything works great, but it leaves me tons in updates. First I tried to apply them all and it took me to where i am now. Then i restored the partition and tried just parts of it and it brought me here again. [15:35] Arelis if you were already using ubuntu, I take it that it already worked for you? [15:35] Jack_Sparrow: this last time i tried to leave firefox and libboost out of it, but no go [15:35] amenado, Yes but it breaks down alot. [15:35] amenado, it doesn't work as good as Windows does [15:35] Jack_Sparrow: i did that now because i have also tried to apply ONLY firefox and libboost before and the same thing happened [15:35] Arelis-> what do you mean it break down a lot? like what breaks down? [15:36] MrPiracy: I am running out of ideas.. but try to figure out which of those updates is causing the problem, then see if it is realtred to something you installed manually [15:36] Arelis-> "good as" is relative, have you gotten any virus on you ubuntu lately? [15:36] amenado, Well i haven't had it happening for sometime now, because i have just reinstalled Ubuntu. But things like kernel issues, libraries missing, apt-get segfaulting all the time. [15:36] amenado, virus? not that i know of. [15:37] Arelis right, so "good as" is relative [15:37] Jack_Sparrow: that's the thing .... i tried to ... but it seems to be the update itself. If i apply ONLY firefox and libboost, i come to this. If i apply the rest and leave firefox and libboost out of it, i come to this too. [15:37] Hi everybody [15:37] amenado, windows in general has been more stable, faster, less likely to break down. [15:37] Arelis-> what exactly have you been doing with kernel and libraries that is missing? [15:38] Arelis: but windows is a timebomb [15:38] i've just installed ubuntu 7.10, but when i type `su -' it ask me a root password! does exist a default root password? [15:38] may explode when you don't even expect [15:38] MrPiracy: What all have you installed manually, and hopefully, you did not use envy or automatix to get your intel working [15:38] !root [15:38] Arelis: unix is the most stable system i have ever seen, more stable than any i have ever tried. [15:38] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [15:38] linus__^: use your user password [15:38] Jack_Sparrow: i dont even know what envy or automatix are [15:38] Arelis-> you already seemed to have made up your mind, mind is set, you have to give the new stuff a chance [15:38] Anybody point me in the right direction. Installing server and when initiates partioner I just get a blank screen. Tried a couple times but no luck. Could it be bad partition or bad drive? [15:38] ah yeah, and do not use su, use sudo [15:39] linus__^: USe sudo or gksudo [15:39] amenado, Well i had that happening two times: at the first time, i was screwing around with windowmanagers and desktop environments. Then suddenly programs wouldn't start anymore, so i went to a console and saw an error message i posted to #ubuntu-bugs. But the second time it was a fresh install of ubuntu with no customizations like that. And it happened again. [15:39] linus__^-> nope, [15:39] and you can use sudo -r su [15:39] afaik [15:39] Jack_Sparrow: and again, the critical point is the update thing ... from these servers u saw on pastebin [15:39] brobostigon, Yes, so that's why i'm wondering.. why isn't it here? [15:39] to get su [15:39] so with ubuntu i CAN'T log as superuser? [15:39] !sudo | linus__^ [15:39] why do i keep having to reinstall the nvidia drivers each time i upgrade? [15:39] linus__^: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [15:39] Arelis: linux is architecturely the same as unix, and unix is here, [15:40] MrPiracy: THe only time we seem to have problems with updates is when a person has installed something manually from outside the repos and it creates a conflict [15:40] mohbana cos that is the way of nvidia not talking to the developers of sudo [15:40] Jack_Sparrow: first time, i applied them all. in the end it said all updates were applied successfully, but after reboot i come to the same low graphics mode [15:40] mohbana cos that is the way of nvidia not talking to the developers of the kernel [15:40] sudo -r su does get su working right? [15:40] if you need su, try it [15:40] Anyone if Anjuta can create JAVA applications? Seems that by default uses C, C++ and gtk+ [15:40] MrPiracy: I really dont have any answers at this point. [15:40] brobostigon, did you read the list of my hardware? [15:40] !supportroot| magus_x [15:40] magus_x: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [15:40] Joelito: can't [15:41] erawfish: ok, thanks. [15:41] arelis: sorry. no, i must have missed it [15:41] Joelito: eclipse [15:41] Jack_Sparrow: i installed manually: wine, tried to install java machine (from original site), kiba-dock (which never worked) and awn [15:41] brobostigon, "I've been blindly using Ubuntu, not knowing if my hardware supports it or not. Can you guys help me with issues i'm having with hardware and tell me if my computer is fully compatible with Ubuntu? I've made a whole document to ask a proper question. It's in pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/4411/ <-- Don't let it's lenghtyness scare you away, please." [15:41] Arelis-> it is enlightening isnt it to mess around with windows manager, do you do the same to windows and get back a full system? we may be able to assist you in resolving some problem..any specific ones? one a time off course..

[15:42] Jack_Sparrow: ok, but then again ... why doesn't it just let me choose i810 again? If i go to screens and settings and choose i810, i will close it and reopen it and see VESA there. It doesn't save what i choose [15:43] edit xorg.conf, write i810 there and run startx [15:43] all whnen X is closed of course [15:43] then it will error. you paste the Xorg log and we might be englightened [15:44] Arelis: FYI. when you play with window decorations and get totally lost... try this next time.. http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [15:44] erawfish, Ubuntu has been unstable, (i caused most of the damage). But Ubuntu is more stable than Windows, and i didn't break Windows.. so i'm thinking it is in the hardware [15:44] erawfish: it is there already, but X doesnt seem to get the settings from this file [15:44] erawfish: want me to post the log file? [15:44] erawfish perhaps sudo dpkg_reconfigure xserver-xorg would be of use to that user more so [15:44] Arelis: unstable is a useless error description. try harder [15:44] Jack_Sparrow, I didn't mean that kind of window manager. I meant switching to bare-bones environments like WMII, DWM and fluxbox [15:44] MrPiracy: I can only suggest one more thing to try.. rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity then restart x [15:45] Arelis lets do it this way okay? have your fresh install, and modify only one feature at a time. let us know where it fails, then we can assist [15:45] Jack_Sparrow: what will it do? [15:45] MrPiracy: reset all gnome settings [15:45] something that won't help but sounds good [15:46] MrPiracy: look at the site I linked above for Arelis [15:46] Jack_Sparrow: ok, will be rite back [15:46] erawfish: lol [15:46] mrpiracy you could start your machine with a livecd and then mount your hard drive - after that copy the working X profile from the live cd to the hard drive and reboot [15:47] notsoquick-> very good idea and suggestion [15:47] erawfish: I was thinking that since he manually installed awm and some things that it couldnt hurt to try since he has full partition backup [15:47] notsoquick: HE has a good xorg.. he only has a problem after applying updates. [15:47] notsoquick: how do i copy the working X profile? [15:47] notsoquick-> if the liveCD iso can be mounted, it can be copied from it directly, i believe it is the filesquashfs.squash file [15:48] still can't figure out why i can't create a new screen :( [15:48] having problems setting up ATI card [15:48] server irc.bondage.com [15:49] MrPiracy-> hang a few..let me see if i can grab it from livecd iso.. [15:49] ok, let me ask a question .... does the X login page use a different config file than gnome? [15:49] MrPiracy: it can [15:50] !ati | Kibbles [15:50] Kibbles: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:50] Kibbles: what card is it? [15:50] the whole problem is that after updates and reboot, i get this "low graphics mode" popup before the login [15:50] erawfish: x2400 [15:50] mrpiracy sorry it appears your issue is slightly different, I suggest sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and pick your driver from there [15:50] and whatever i change in that has no effect [15:50] fglrx it is then. pr vesa [15:51] How do I get the default Ubuntu window theme back after having installed emerald? :( [15:51] ok, will do that again ... last time it froze on monitor detection, i'll bypass it this time [15:52] mrpiracy do this sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop this stops X now in the console do the full trick but you should have a valid xorg.conf file which works in your /etc/X11 directory form a previous install [15:52] erawfish: thanks, that looks like a good candidate ;) [15:52] notsoquick and MrPiracy shoot, i just mounted filesystem.squash (the liveCD environment) and found no etc/X11/xorg.conf which i believe is created when initrd of livecd starts [15:53] i thought the filesystem.squashfs have the xorg.conf [15:53] amenado you boot from the livecd and that creates a reasonable xorg.conf on the live system which can then be used [15:54] gtg [15:54] notsoquick right, at first i thought it had a default xorg.conf laying around, aparently its created live [15:54] hello I have a problem. I just installed Ubuntu desktop 7.10 on a Dell Inspiron 510m laptop. and when i try to login with my account it says you are not allwed to access system configuration, What to do? [15:54] I am about to do a fresh install of gutsy... Is there anything I should be aware of before I start? [15:54] I am currently running Feisty [15:54] i just did the reconfigure thing ... will reboot, brb [15:54] try sudo [15:54] and i cant even enter X [15:55] hi [15:55] but with the "ubuntu" account i can login [15:55] and i cant even su from there [15:55] emma: If possible, create a seperate /home partition [15:56] Ok I have heard that from a few people so I will try to do that. [15:56] How big should it be? [15:56] rudolph: sudo of gksudo [15:56] Give root 10 G and home partition the rest? [15:56] yep [15:56] Hi. Anyone know how to install wine 0.9.5.5? I can only install 0.9.5.4. Thanks [15:56] will it be fairly clear how much is available when Im going through the install process? [15:56] emma: If you have a lot of space give root an extra 10 [15:57] Right now I dual boot windows and feisty fawn. If I put in the install CD will it be able to recognize I'm trying to do a fresh install over the current ubuntu but still let me dual boot? [15:57] where is the trading channel here, anyone [15:57] emma: yes, the manual partitioning is quite clear [15:57] 20 G for root? [15:57] I have a 200 G hard drive, but I just bought a 500 G external drive. [15:57] emma: do this.. fdisk -l L is the last letter [15:58] Hi. Anyone know how to install wine 0.9.5.5? I can only install 0.9.5.4. Thanks [15:58] uuuman: Ask in #winehq [15:58] Okay it just gave me some information. I'm not sure which of the information you would like to know though. [15:58] emma: all of it [15:58] !paste [15:58] any cashiers here? [15:58] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [15:58] emma: WOuld you mind posting it to the pastebin [15:58] emma once you get to the partitioning portion, only mark the new paritions for formatting and do not mark the older ubuntu and windows partitions, [15:59] No I don't mind. [15:59] hola [15:59] amenado - I don't understand. [15:59] grrrr nothing seems to work [15:59] hi [15:59] everything brings me back to this [15:59] I thought we wanted to mark the older ubuntu partitions. [15:59] hello everyone, good morning.. or something [15:59] thanks sparrow will do [15:59] amenado: If she wants a new ubuntu she would need to remove the old ubuntu partiton [16:00] emma it means when you are manually partitioning, you pick and choose which partition to touch and format, so I suggest leaving those old partitions alone [16:00] Jack_Sparrow : gksudo and then? [16:00] ahorriblemess: Good Day works... [16:00] My aim is to leave windows alone, to continue to dual boot, but to get rid of the old ubuntu and replace it with a fresh ubuntu. [16:00] hallo [16:00] i still cant su after it [16:00] need reboot? [16:00] if i bought a nvidia GeForce 8500GT, how well would it work in ubuntu gutsy? [16:00] Jack_Sparrow-> nope, i have done it where i leave the old ubuntu partitions alone, [16:00] Can anyone help me with removing a program? I have Wolfenstein, but I would like to remove it, I assume whatever code I learn can be applied to any program right? [16:01] WORFENSTEIN [16:01] amenado: I can have several linux installs, but that is not what she asked [16:01] YOU CANNOT REMOVE IT [16:01] IT IS GODLY [16:01] emma oh, you want to get rid of the old ubuntu, the yeah, reformat the old ubuntu partition [16:01] i cant get the security fix [16:01] Magus_X: Please lost the caps [16:01] and i have to return my computer for a new one [16:01] Okay. I do want that. I want to replace the old ubuntu with the new ubuntu. [16:01] Jack_Sparrow-> yep i missed what she said about removing the old one..i usually save the old one just incase type of thing..heh [16:01] can anyone help me compiling a kernel with standard ubuntu settings? [16:02] amenado: And in this case we want to add a seperate /home... [16:02] nice flood, did anyone else get that or am I just lagging? [16:02] The pastbin link is not working yet. [16:02] emma: Do you want to upgrade instead, and keep most of your settings and all that [16:02] no - got that too [16:02] ahorriblemess, its another server joining in [16:02] huh [16:02] Jack_Sparrow-> that too, i usually have a separate /home, but if I already have that in the older ubuntu (ie a separate /home) I just re-use it [16:03] ahorriblemess, we all got it :P [16:03] ahorriblemess - that happened on #debian too [16:03] ok well anyway, can anyone tell me how to uninstall programs? [16:03] Jack_Sparrow - I really want to do a fresh install. I've already copied my current home folder to the external hard drive, and I'm hoping to copy it back to the new home folder. [16:03] can anyone assign me to a trading channel thanks === danopia`school is now known as danopia [16:03] i've logged in using my admin user, sudo -i' su - anotheruser, when i try to run screen as anotheruser it tries to use the pts that my admin users is using [16:03] I want to do a fresh install, create a home partition, and fix some things I might have broken. [16:03] hi do you know how convert png files into one avi video ? [16:03] amenado: and if she had a seperate home rihgt now, she would be golden for installing the newer ubuntu right [16:03] Jack_Sparrow-> yep [16:03] Hello. when I activate my second monitor, desktop get streched bigger than screen. how can i resolve that? [16:03] can I just delete the folder or do I need to use a code? [16:04] The ubuntu paste bin... what is the link? The link above doesn't work. [16:04] !pastebin [16:04] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [16:04] amenado: I need to go.. could you take a look when she gets her fdisk -l posted... [16:04] whats going on is not UBUNTU 7.10 compatible with DELL Laptops!? [16:04] Jack_Sparrow-> sure, ill cover [16:04] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [16:04] rudolph, nothing last time i checked [16:05] ahorriblemess - there are several ways to remove packages on ubuntu - either with gui tools like synaptics or with command line tools like apt-get. [16:05] amenado: thanks emma take care... [16:05] rudolph-> i thought you said earlier you were able to install successfully? [16:05] yea but i cant login [16:05] says you are not allowed to blabla [16:05] Oh thanks very much amenado and Jack_Sparrow [16:05] i cannot even set root paswd [16:05] rudolph-> you logged in as the regular user? [16:05] yes [16:05] cannot su [16:05] rudolh you sure you have the correct password? [16:06] yea [16:06] maybe caps locks are on? [16:06] hallo [16:06] no no [16:06] rudolph: do you know about sudo?

[16:07] здесь есть русскоязычные [16:07] emma: your current ubuntu install drive info [16:07] I dunno. [16:07] when I did fdisk that's what showed up. [16:08] emma fdisk -l [16:08] sudo fdisk -l [16:08] !sudo [16:08] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [16:08] okay [16:08] hey everyone, I got a new pc and tried to install ubuntu, it has a fakeraid (in raid1 mode) and I set that up from the livecd (using dmraid and fdisk) then started the installation until it quite because grub wasn't installable, then installed grub from chroot, then I tried booting up in recovery mode and got some errors about apic, so I added noapic to grub config, and ran update-grub again, however now I only get the grub console when boot [16:08] ing up, anyone got an idea why? [16:08] some one here speak spanish? [16:08] emma: SIlly me.. sorry [16:08] xxx: /join #ubuntu-es [16:08] There more has shown up. [16:08] tks [16:08] the computer clock appears to be wrong [16:08] it says [16:08] the session might encounter issues [16:09] also when I try to boot from live cd again and install dmrad, it no longer shows my partitions which it did before [16:09] emma re pastebin it [16:09] ahh [16:09] unsure [16:09] i just had to ignore [16:09] *dmraid [16:09] that [16:10] naderman-> can you try having a separate /boot partition when installing? it may help in completing an install [16:10] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55480/ [16:10] correction ^ [16:10] amenado: I can do that sure [16:10] but why would that help? [16:11] naderman i read somewhere that the loaders before have difficulty booting off of a raid..but proly its corrected now [16:11] !fsck [16:11] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [16:11] Oh I get what that is saying, it's describing the two hard drives I have. First the internal one, and the partitions, and then it mentions the external one. [16:11] You see the internal one is 200 GB and the external one is 500 GB [16:12] amenado: actually I cannot do that anymore because dmraid -ay doesn't do anything anymore, so /dev/mapper/isw_something doesn't exist anymore, whithout which I cannot create any partitions [16:12] emma that sda3, is your old ubuntu, yeah go ahead and repartition it, and add /home also [16:12] amenado: well it worked first time, but I somehow messed something up now [16:13] I guess I did some mistake on the second grub-update, but I have no idea what [16:13] naderman-> well it looks like a re-install is in order [16:13] naderman wait.. [16:13] amenado: well I'd do, if dmraid would find my hdds? [16:13] naderman you can not boot at all? [16:13] amenado: what about sda3 being her new root and a new partition on the 500 gig for /home of whatever size she wants and the rest of the 500 for windows or ntfs? [16:13] amenado: yes [16:13] all I get right now is the grub console when booting [16:13] how can i upgrade to alsa 1.16? [16:13] how are you able to tell that sda3 is the old ubuntu? Why does sda2 have an * after it? And what are those 4,5 about? [16:13] naderman yikes..what kind of prompt are you getting now? [16:13] naderman: grub cannot boot from raid partitions [16:14] erawfish: huh it worked first time? [16:14] Enemy: * is the boot flag [16:14] can't? :< [16:14] (also this is a fakeraid, not a real one) [16:14] should I format everything except the windows partitions? [16:14] emma: it is irrelevant [16:14] and there's a lot of howtos online which explain how to do it, and it works for those people [16:14] hey how can i configure sound on my laptop [16:14] Jack_Sparrow-> that sounds wonderful, all emma has to create on the internal is the / and swap partitions, the /home can be anywhere else like the 2nd drive [16:14] so grub can do this, I've seen it boot fine [16:14] Is there a way to open the terminal via a keyboard command? [16:14] naderman: plase show me one [16:14] I have accidentally deleted some files from /usr when I was trying to delete a stubborn application from Wine. Is there a way to retrieve them back? [16:14] erawfish: one sec [16:14] howdoudo: set one in system > prefs > keyboard shortcuts [16:15] Ro1: what filesystem? [16:15] erawfish: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [16:15] amenado: she doesnt even need to mess with partitions on sda.. just let the installer reformat the existing [16:15] erawfish: ext3 [16:15] I think the part I'm worried about is doing something wrong and wiping out windows also. [16:15] I need to dual boot for now. [16:15] Jack_Sparrow-> yep, just reformat the existing [16:15] erawfish: as I said all of that worked fine, I just forgot to set noapic, so the kernel boooted and then after a bit froze for that reason, and after changing the grub config and rebooting I only get the grub console now instead of my menu [16:16] will the installer be smart enough to just replace the old ubuntu but leave windows alone? [16:16] my laptop is lenovo y410 [16:16] Ro1 - no way to recover files from journalled filesystem [16:16] emma-> the partitioneer will tell you the old ubuntu partition exist, and ask you what you want to do with it [16:16] :( [16:16] astro76 that allows me to edit the ones that are already established but not to add a new one. [16:16] Okay [16:17] Well let's hope this works. [16:17] emma: yes, just select sda3 and mount as / create new partiton on the 500 of whatever size you want and mount as /home .. oh, and I really am gone.. the wife is giving me that look ... take care all.. [16:17] I guess the worst case senario is that I wipe out and destroy everything. [16:17] danand_: Do I have to reinstall Ubuntu again? [16:17] erawfish: and another one here: http://wiki.eyermonkey.com/My_Ubuntu_%287.10%29_Installation [16:17] naderman-> would it work if you add noapic on grub during boot? ie modify the boot parameters? [16:17] howdoudo: there's an entry for "Run a terminal" which has no shortcut by default [16:17] Ro1 - if you know what packages the accidental delete ruined you can just use apt-get to reinstall them [16:17] naderman: so what did you set root as in grub? [16:17] (well i can't put a home partition on the 500 GB drive since it's an external USB drive and probably too slow) [16:18] I see. [16:18] erawfish: (hd0,1) [16:18] Ro1 - do you know what packages/files you deleted [16:18] (hd0,0) is my windows, (hd0,2) is swap, no other partitions [16:18] naderman: hd0,1 is not a raid partition, is it? [16:18] emma you can use your external as /home [16:18] erawfish: no it's not [16:18] it's not a software raid [16:18] but my external is a usb drive.. [16:18] can anyone help me configuring sound on my laptop [16:19] that's why grub can understand it [16:19] wont it be too slow? [16:19] to read and write? [16:19] naderman: what is device (hd0) ? [16:19] /dev/sda [16:19] err actually [16:19] naderman: that'S the problem if you want to boot from raid [16:19] hd0 is /dev/mapper/isw_cryptic_Volume0 [16:19] emma i doubt it, proly only at the beginning..systems files are not written to it [16:19] which however is /dev/sda and /dev/sdb via dmraid [16:19] I was thinking of making a home partition on the internal and then using the external to store media and documents. [16:20] emma: that's probably the best idea [16:20] is there a solution to time limit a login (for Limiting Kids Session time Per Day) ? [16:20] emma you can do that too..i myself use external drive for downloads [16:20] astro76 I guess I am blind this morning. Thank!!! [16:20] erawfish: what I did was exactly as in the howto: device (hd0) /dev/mapper/ # hd0 represents the first hard drive in my computer, the "raid disk", none partition [16:20] emma: also that way you don't lose your /home if the external is unplugged [16:20] true... [16:20] emma: you will end up deleting sda3,4 and 5 , recreating an extended in order to get a seperate home on the internal drive [16:20] howdoudo: you're welcome [16:21] and then root (hd0,1) [16:21] Jack_Sparrow-> the wife, the wife...hehe [16:21] Yeah I'm worried for Jack_Sparrow :| [16:21] amenado: You see the issue.. right.. and yes.. time for breakfast [16:22] emma: all that sounds scarier than it realy is [16:22] we will take care of emma [16:22] What is involved in the 'reacreating an extended.. ' [16:22] great thanks [16:22] ok guess this works then [16:22] yes thanks Jack_Sparrow ! Enjoy breakfast! [16:22] erawfish: you following me? [16:22] hello channel users [16:22] i need a server with root access. but i dont have much data transfer and connectivity speed requirments and no restrictions. can any one recomend a good lowest cost dedi.. and with root acces. vps dds ..? [16:22] my problem right now is probably only, that somehow dmraid -r does not list any partitions [16:23] Okay I guess I'll try to do it now! [16:23] RoboCop: this is ubuntu support - not hosting company advice [16:23] even though it correctly detects my hd as raid, and /dev/sda2 contains the right data [16:23] emma once you get to the partitioner, it show what you have and basically delete the old partitions to create the bigger spaces to become new, then edit the new to create those subpartitions [16:23] lo all. [16:23] On gutsy gibbon I am playnig /wmv files in totem [16:23] .wmv* [16:23] BUt all of a sudden the movies won't stretch the full size of the window anymore. [16:23] Why would they not do this? [16:23] RoboCop: try #linux [16:23] THey are small films but I don't mind the distortion [16:23] Okay yes. Edit the new to create the subpartitions. And the subpartition I want to make is the /home folder. [16:24] asdrubal [16:24] erawfish: it does list /dev/sda and /dev/sdb now, but it doesn't create the /dev/mapper files :/ [16:24] perhaps you hava a locked aspect ratio seanw [16:24] emma 3 new, / /home and swap [16:24] I have to make those three... [16:24] Question: I've taken a look at these stencils for Kivio, but they're pay-for. What gives? I thought it was all free for Linux?! Can someone point me to some 100% free alternatives? Here is the link: http://www.thekompany.com/products/kivio/stencils.php3 [16:24] do I give them names? [16:24] emma if you decide to put /home in the internal, otherwise only two [16:24] Or is it just sda1, sda2, and sda3 ? [16:25] And I should give 10+ GB to root, how much to swap? And everything else to home.. [16:25] Firefox do not access some links. Can someone help me? [16:25] Why does Syncropated not find my MP3 Player? I have a Meizu M6 miniPlayer [16:25] xexeu what links? [16:25] emma partitioner ask you which partitions you create and mount point to associate (/ and swap), and then reformat, [16:25] Where can I find free stencils for Kivio?! [16:25] it says: no masstorage device found.. [16:25] gpgp, I am on auto aspect ratio :( [16:25] how can I time Limit a Login Session ? [16:25] but I Ubuntu recognizes it [16:26] so are they only the true res of the file then ? [16:26] emma swap is usually 2x the ram, / partition is 10 gigs is more than enuff [16:26] Okay let's hope that the partitioner gives good instructions.. [16:26] Okay, I guess my ram is 1 GB so 2 GB for swap. [16:26] Okay I'm going to try it and see what happens. :) [16:26] see you all hopefully.... [16:27] papuccino1-> not all are free in linux [16:27] papuccinol, http://www.t37.com.br/ATHWS.DLL on t37 online must show a ship image, but dont show [16:27] gpgp, yeah, it is just showing me what the file actually is. Earlier on today it was stretching - I don't know what I changed :) [16:27] amenado: i have 2 gb of ram and ubuntu installer shoose 1.2 gb for swap partition. who know better, you or ubuntu installer? [16:27] amenado: so there's no free stencils? I find that hard to believe. [16:27] hallo everybody!...I lost my wireless after last update...is there a way to reinstall it from my LIVE CD?? [16:27] lz7-> trust your instincts :) [16:28] cirubuntu: no. What wirless card do you have [16:28] this is in totem ? [16:28] papuccino1-> i honestly dont know what a stencil is, a drawing? [16:28] PRO&Wireless 3945 ABG... [16:28] cirubuntu: intel ? [16:28] yep [16:28] amenado: Stencils are like pieces of diagrams for a flow chart. Kivio is a flow-chart designer. Have a look at this website and you'll see: http://www.thekompany.com/products/kivio/stencils.php3 [16:29] lz7: the installer, the 2x rule is nonsense [16:29] cirubuntu: define not working. is the card still seen, or is it just not connecting [16:29] erawfish: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dmraid/+bug/180688/comments/2 oh dear that sounds like my problem :( [16:29] it only works once [16:29] lz7; I agree, use the installer recomendation. [16:29] RoboCop, [16:29] after installing ...Ubuntu automatically install my wireless card...but I lost it now.. [16:30] cirubuntu: define lost, is the card not visable any more, or will it just not connect [16:30] Why doesn't Syncropated find my MP3 Player? I have a Meizu M6 miniPlayer MTP Mode is on currently. ???? [16:30] those rule of thumb using 2x the ram is old stuff, when people use to know how to read dumps, which now many do not..hehe [16:30] When I open the connections it ca just see the cabled connection...no wireless [16:31] gpgp, yup. [16:31] cirubuntu: ok - so the card is not visable. first thing to do is check the kill switch on the laptop [16:31] cirubuntu: also look at the output of dmesg [16:31] Firexof do not show image of a ship. Can someone help me? [16:31] what's the best way to install supercollider in gutsy? [16:31] xexeu: image of a ship ? [16:32] DoYouKnow: cupser collider ? [16:32] ikonia..kill switch?? [16:32] papuccino1-> they are selling theirs not free, I guess you just have to look around for similar and compatible with your drawing package [16:32] ikonia, audio processing [16:32] cirubuntu: hardware switch that enables/disables our wirless card [16:32] people forget about the o f f / o n switches..hehe [16:32] DoYouKnow: what do you mean by install it ? [16:32] What's up, I was VNC'd into ubuntu and VNC crashed my gnome session. I have ssh access to the machine, so how do I log the machine back into a gnome session from SSH? [16:33] amenado: the last 3 people that asked about it with me had turned it off [16:33] likwidtek: try: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart [16:33] ikonia, well, I want to install the i386 package on my amd64 [16:33] likwidtek: oh sorry that won't log you in [16:33] ikonia-> i would not doubt it...the buggers are well hidden [16:33] using the 32-bit libraries, etc [16:33] DoYouKnow: thats a significat task [16:33] but I don't even see it in the 64-bit repos [16:33] ikonia...I allready cheched it...infact now I am logged using live cd [16:33] DoYouKnow: you'll need pretty much a full 32bit environment on your 64 bit system [16:34] cirubuntu: do an "lsmod" on the live cd, and then on your install and compare the two === chris-_ is now known as chris1 [16:34] likwidtek-> you are ssh'd in? did you use -C -Y or -X option when ssh'ing in? [16:34] hmm can I somehow make the livecd operate in ram and from disk entirely? [16:34] /lastlog naderman [16:34] naderman: thats what it is doing [16:34] naderman: the live operates in ram [16:34] Is the MTP-MSC Mode not working in Linux?? [16:34] ikonia: not exactly [16:34] likwidtek-> then if you did, once you are logged in, gnome-session & [16:34] ikonia: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dmraid/+bug/180688/comments/2 [16:35] naderman: what about that ? [16:35] because I can't use my mp3 player in rhytmbox and syncropated [16:35] and than?...come back to you? [16:35] amenado no, what are -C _Y -X for? [16:35] well the livecd does take free space on the hdd to use it as swap [16:35] cirubuntu sounds good [16:35] naderman: yes, it will need swap as it's running in ram [16:35] <[M]orpheus> how do I burn Blind write files? that *.b00, *.b6i [16:35] anyone benchmarked the new hardy boot time? [16:36] ikonia: yeah and now read that comment [16:36] ok.. cu in a while? [16:36] likwidtek-> if you man ssh those options should be explained, i dont remember exact verbage...X for Xwindows [16:36] cc whats the point it will be hardware specific [16:36] asdrubal yes? [16:36] naderman: dmraid stores info about mappers somewhere. while I dunno where it is stored on some disk sector [16:36] erase it and you can start fresh [16:36] naderman: dmraid is a bad technology on linux [16:36] ikonia: sure, but it should be comparable to gutsy - or am I totally wrong here [16:36] ikonia: dmraid is a bad tech, period [16:37] naderman: software raid worrks [16:37] erawfish: hmm ok, so I need to find it? [16:37] ikonia: well I want this fakeraid [16:37] cc: wrong [16:37] and it works too, I just have to get it right first time [16:37] amenado oh I see what you mean like SSH tunneling [16:37] naderman: rhen don't expect ubuntu to support it [16:37] likwidtek-> yes sir.. [16:37] ikonia: huh? ubuntu supports it? [16:37] naderman: no [16:37] IKONIA ...how can I send that looong file to you_ [16:37] oh it's in universe yes [16:37] <[M]orpheus> how do I burn Blind write files? that *.b00, *.b6i [16:37] amenado I just want to start the gnome session local to that machine so I can vnc into it like normal I don't wanna forward X11 to this computer. [16:37] ikonia: well, ok [16:37] cirubuntu: pstebin [16:38] ikonia: still software raid has problems too [16:38] naderman: no its dost [16:38] doesnt [16:38] ikonia ...how to use it? [16:38] !paste | cirubuntu [16:38] cirubuntu: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [16:38] ikonia, at www.t37.com.br t37 online vessels schedule do not show the camara image [16:38] ikonia: dual boot? [16:38] I just wanna ssh in have the local session kick off like normal. I think to whatever it's called localhost:1 or whatever [16:38] xexeu: activeX plugin ? [16:38] naderman: yup [16:38] ikonia: well software raid doesn't quite cover that [16:39] hi is there anyway to see what version of the live cd one has booted.. I got 2 livecds .. one is amd64 the other is the standard [16:39] hello, i have a problem with Rhythmbox. All my music resides in /media/sda2/Music, but I have a link to it /home/andrisp/Music. In rhythmbox i selected it to scan only the later dir, but now it seems that it scaned both paths and i have all songs twice. What to do ? [16:39] naderman: cover what ? [16:39] likwidtek-> i dont know how that is done lest you are in front of it, the pam login modules detects if you are logging in remotely or locally, and starts the display manager accordingly [16:39] ikonia, how to install this plugin? [16:39] Tra la la lala [16:39] xexeu: active X doesn't work [16:39] #1 solution to rhythmbox = don't use it [16:39] asdrubal: please don't make random noise [16:39] I thiin so [16:39] ikonia: well i have two disks, and want them to be mirrored, and run windows and linux on them [16:39] asdrubal, stupid solution [16:40] does anyone know how to add other languages to spellcheck in openoffice? [16:40] hello [16:40] naderman: so use windows OS raid and linux softrware raid [16:40] windows OS raid? [16:40] good afternoon from Santiago, Chile... [16:40] naderman: windows has raid functionality in it [16:40] is there any help channel in spanish? [16:40] !es | Under_C [16:40] Under_C: ubuntu-es [16:40] Under_C: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [16:41] ikonia: which is supported by linux ntfs drivers? that's news to me. [16:41] thanks a lot! [16:41] i installed ubuntu and then vista. i lost the bootloader, so i ran sudo grub via a ubuntu live cd. i used: root (hd0,0) and setup (hd0). now i lost vista. how do i add them to the bootloader menu? (vista?). [16:41] naderman: no, that won't be supported as it's dependant on the windows OS being running [16:41] ikonia, I dont know what happen. Just clicking on the link and it must show an image from a camara. But It doestnt happen [16:41] thanks for your help [16:41] ikonia: exactly, so instead I just want to use two mirrored disks, which both OSes can work with [16:41] and that is possible with dmraid [16:42] naderman: your using technology which has technical issues, so your pretty much on your own. [16:42] mmm... first time here, what is the command to add another channel? [16:42] hi.. how could i install beryl? is that the one that makes the cube effectS? thanks... [16:42] wolfman2323: are you on Feisty? [16:42] ikonia: what technical issue? [16:42] wolfman2323: beryl is dead, compiz-fusion is the replacment its already part of gutsy [16:42] picard. gutsy [16:42] laylf-> do you know which partition your vista is on? add an entry into your menu.lst for it [16:42] the software seems to work pretty much fine to me? [16:42] naderman: fake raid is a weak technology [16:42] wolfman2323: you have compiz fusion then [16:43] ikonia.. how could i make the cube.. [16:43] many things are weak ... [16:43] naderman: well, your a minority [16:43] picard... how to make the cube.. [16:43] wolfman2323: join #compiz-fusion [16:43] brb... [16:43] and I'm not asking anyone else to use this, I'm just trying to figure out how to boot [16:43] thanks [16:43] wolfman2323: right click on the desktop, choose "change background" and click the effects tab [16:43] Is the world not ready for 64bit oses yet seems there are allot of fall back going 64bit [16:43] naderman: there are no initfs modules for it [16:44] yotux am not, never had a 64bit cpu yet.. :) [16:44] naderman: plus grub trys to install the virtual disk by default rather than the physical boot sector of either disk [16:44] I am running a game in full screen mode in my second workspace. How can I change to the first workspace without exiting the game? I can do this with fluxbox with a hotkey. [16:44] I installed 64bit ubuntu and it seems that most of the stuff I use is in 32bit [16:44] ikonia: not sure I understand what you're telling me? [16:45] yotux same in windows, not many 64bit stuff out there yet..32 bits is fully usable still [16:45] has anyone else experienced their sound just stop working with 7.10 [16:45] I need to edit some fla templates... I looked in add remove but saw no flash editing programs, does anyone know of any? [16:45] Hi all. just now, something happened that made me unable to login, unable to start a shell, unable to open a terminal window (it opens, but it hangs and gives me an empty prompt..). I know one thing: i executed this command: wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - <-- Canceled it, and then.. boom. System unresponsive. <-- if THAT is a dangerous action.. So really, is there something wrong with my har [16:45] naderman: 1.) I'm not aware (doesn't mean doesn't exist) of any initfs modules to make fake raid volumes visable to grub (for menu.lst for example) 2.) grub will try to intall the boot loader onto the virtual disk of a+b rather than the physical disk of a or b [16:45] dware? or is Ubuntu SUPPOSED to behave this way? (Everything you do, boom, crash.) [16:46] fiXXXerMet: try ctrl+alt+directions [16:46] Arelis: sounds like hardware issues [16:46] Arelis: the only place that I have ever seen crashes where in alpha release [16:46] kasra: That doesn't work (it does now, but not when the game is running) [16:46] ikonia: I already booted from a fakeraid volume a few minutes ago [16:47] so it works [16:47] yotux, ikonia: Really? so it wasn't my fault? [16:47] naderman: ooh really, thats interesting how did you get grub to use the fake raid partition for /boot/menu.lst [16:47] ikonia, it's true. Better to use any other app..Amarok is a bloated beast too. I reccomend against it as well [16:47] Arelis: most probably as thats a generic crash [16:47] When is 8.04 ubuntu scheduled for release? [16:47] Arelis: are you running an alpha release? 8.10 i think [16:47] asdrubal: what ? [16:47] ikonia: see the fakeraid howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [16:47] asdrubal: 04 08 [16:47] fiXXXerMet what game are you running [16:47] asdrubal: it's in the name [16:47] naderman: I've read through that before [16:48] yotux, ikonia: Because in that case: http://paste.ubuntu.com/4411/ <-- A whole document containing ALL the info you need on my PC. [16:48] ikonia: well it has the edits in there? [16:48] naderman did adding noapic on grub during fix or not at all? [16:48] naderman: I'll re-read [16:48] yotux, ikonia: Please, help me via the e-mail address because you guys may leave IRC. [16:48] amenado: why noapic for fake read [16:48] Arelis: help you do what ? [16:48] ikonia: unrelated [16:48] Arelis: I'm not mailing you [16:48] hi all [16:48] I just need that too [16:48] ikonia, , oh doh [16:48] naderman: thank you [16:49] ikonia-> he was saying that was a missing piece, and i suggested if adding it during boot fixed it [16:49] Arelis: Compiz is still alpha I think [16:49] ikonia, Help me find out the cause of those crashes. Many times people've been telling me it was my fault. And many times it was. But sometimes i experience crashes like these. [16:49] yotux, not running compiz. [16:49] amenado: so you just picked a random kernel parameter [16:49] amenado: well when I tried to add noapic I used /dev/sda because dmraid didn't add the mappings [16:49] turns out that was a stupid idea, as now it doesn't work at all anymore [16:49] <[M]orpheus> how do I burn Blind write files? that *.b00, *.b6i [16:49] ikonia-> that was his telling me, noapic he forgot to add [16:49] and I'm not really familiar with grub [16:50] so I haven't figured out yet how to boot with noapic from that console [16:50] can anyone help me with iconv?) [16:50] Arelis: I do not have any visual effects running on my pc and things seem to work better for me. [16:50] naderman-> my question is more of taking notes..curiousity.. [16:50] ikonia: btw. you find the relevant bit for grub under "Set Up the Bootloader for RAID" [16:50] [M]orpheus: google burn b.00 [16:51] Arelis: That could solve some the gnome and compiz issue you stated in your paste bin [16:51] if you haven't found it [16:51] yotux, Compiz is disabled. [16:51] It seems as if I need to edit the UDEV-style hotplug map for libmtp in /etc/udev/libmtp.rules [16:51] naderman: just read-reading ht elot [16:51] anyone here running 6.06-2 server with samba 3.0.2.5 ? [16:51] yotux, and it has long been [16:51] Hello. When i activate double monitor, my desktop get streched to an area bigger thean the screen. How can i solve this please? [16:51] This would help everybody owning a Meizu Player! [16:51] Arelis: using Gutsy? [16:51] astro76, yes. [16:52] Arelis: proprietary 3d drivers? [16:52] shiwaraya-> out of curiosity too, how do you even activate dual monitor? which app you have to enable or run? [16:52] is ubuntu.com down? [16:53] astro76, yes. fglrx [16:53] amenado: out of the box, ubuntu 7.10 can manage two monitors in SYSTEM/ADMINISTRATION/Screen and graphics [16:54] highly depends on your graphics card whether it'll work or not though [16:54] amenado: ok, noapic from console fixed that problem at least, but now it can't find the root filesystem anymore as I messed that up by using /dev/sda for the grub update [16:54] Arelis: I would run without that for awhile and see if you still crash [16:54] if i run the latest update (flashplugin-nonfree) my flashplayer doesnt work anymore and i have to do a manual install [16:54] astro76, without fglrx? [16:54] The problem activating the second screen is that my desktop gets bigger than the screen so i have to scroll. Anyone can solve this issue? [16:54] Arelis: yes [16:55] How can i fit my desktop size to my screen size? [16:55] astro76, i doubt it, as when i DIDN'T have fglrx, i had even MORE random crashes. [16:55] I got 2 diffrent Live CDs one is AMD 64 and the other in the standard... The thing is I have no text on them so I can't tell which one is which one? is there anyway to check.. I'm on Livecd right now [16:57] naderman its good to know that info... [16:57] speedcore: guess [16:57] shiwaraya your video card has to have dual output too I assume? [16:57] jul456 [16:57] hey, anyone have experiance with the fglrx radeon xgl and compiz combo [16:57] amenado: the noapic wasn't related to the fakeraid though, I just needed that for my core 2 quad [16:58] naderman ahh, those info you provide is good for my notes..i dont know what noapic is used for really [16:58] !fglrx [16:58] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [16:58] How can i calculate the number of sectors, heads, and cylinders when I only have the size of the harddrive [16:58] amenado: yes i have a nvidia gforce4 with dual output, one digital and one analog [16:59] Would installing ubuntu next to windows result in the error "Windows XP cannot find any hard disks" when trying to do a fresh XP install? Thanks [16:59] [Nautilus] English help wanted. Right-click on a filename opens a shortcut menu. What is the exact English name of the sixth item in it? Is it 'Make a Link' or how?

[17:05] erawfish: I'm in the livecd now, and when I try to access my HD, it says it's unable to mount [17:06] [M]orpheus-> extracting will be, mounting the iso file and then extract the files you need [17:06] <[M]orpheus> amenado, will not work, i need to open that file like an iso... [17:06] jw144000: which hdd partition? ntfs or ext3? [17:06] <[M]orpheus> hummm [17:06] <[M]orpheus> how do I mount that file?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [17:07] jw144000; more than likely a restore from the windows cd will save the day.. i'm guessing you've tried dual booting? [17:07] erawfish: think I should be able to skip the windows partition though? [17:07] [M]orpheus-> i dont know what that .b00 file is, is it a file system that linux recognize? [17:07] I mean it worked before when that one already existed [17:07] naderman: no clue, you cn try [17:07] bastid_razOr: well, I was trying to make a partition to my hard drive and it messed up [17:07] <[M]orpheus> amenado, hummm is a game iso... but something called blindwriter is need to open... just in win =\ [17:08] any pidgin user here who can tell me what i need to do to be able to use another smiley theme?? [17:08] naderman: I told you, it writes something to some plce which you want to be erased. wherever that is [17:08] yeah [17:08] Help pls [17:08] I'm trying to locate just that one place [17:08] ;-) [17:08] [M]orpheus-> the way i would do it, is again mount the iso, to then have those individual files and let the application point to it to handle it ? [17:08] jw144000; the xp cd can fix alot of mistakes that windows makes. windows puts system files at the end of a partition and when you change the partition it erases those needed files. [17:09] [M]orpheus: if you haven't noticed already: this is not ##windows and this is no OS that supports blindwrite. ask the maker of that manure software to support their stuff. NOT ubuntu [17:09] jw144000; in most cases the restore/repair option in the windows cd will put those files back on the partition and fix your issue [17:09] Help!!

[18:49] witepa: yeah, it's the same chipset. [18:49] Harm, login to my computer account? or the web page account? [18:49] lauren: kde4 is NOT for enduers [18:49] defragging before using gparted good idea? [18:49] witepa: it's actually one of 2 chipsets with that model so you may have to use ndiswrapper [18:49] Siph0n: well if someone logged into your linux account they would load all the settings and saved passwords that are inside of it [18:49] cvega: nrfs: yes [18:50] ntfs. [18:50] witepa: but I always try other options before that [18:50] k. [18:50] hello [18:50] clearzen: Yeah, same [18:50] so kde4 will not run on ubuntu? i thought you could switch desktop managers [18:50] i want to register my nickname so that i can login to java channels [18:50] !register > protcront [18:50] lauren: yes you can [18:50] When purchasing a notebook, is Linux Compatibility an issues any more? [18:50] lauren, it will run on ubuntu, but its not quite ready for the mainstream imho [18:50] well, i know this much, since i'm using it now [18:51] what do i do when i get this error : aplay: device_list:207: no soundcards found... [18:51] yeah KDE4 was just a little early [18:51] how reinstall wireless card__ [18:51] does gedit from 7.10 have syntax highlighting? [18:51] whiter: yes it does [18:51] whiter: Yep [18:51] SJrX, mostly not, usually you want to buy one with an nvidia gfx card, and sometimes wireless is a small issue, but usually with a little tweaking and general know-how you can get it working [18:51] Damn nickrud beat me again [18:51] would i have to turn it on or is it on by default because i cant find any options for it [18:51] SJrX: here I hear about newer wireless and built in webcams [18:51] erawfish, another FREE output, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55503/ . i have only xchat and a terminal running, surely it should report more free memory than that?!?!?! [18:51] okay [18:51] Anybody here good with the kernel, I'm wondering how safe it is to disable SLUB debugging? [18:52] whiter: It's on by default, it detects the file extension [18:52] i m registered but why i cannot login to java channel [18:52] probably no built in webcams, but wireless is something to look out for [18:52] hello everybody, i was wondering if someone could help me getting the sound to work on my PC [18:52] bofh80: if you ever have a lot of free memory, your linux is broken [18:52] oh alright, thank you very much [18:52] how reinstall wireless card__?? [18:52] where do I find a hardware compatibility list for ubuntu? [18:52] bofh80: again: free memory is WASTED memory [18:52] !hcl [18:52] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [18:52] !wireless | cirubuntu [18:52] cirubuntu: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:52] I need help with incscape, it comes black boxes instead of text in SVG:s [18:52] protcront: you should probably ask about that on #freenode [18:52] jeez. you're like a machine :) [18:53] I am trying to dist-upgrad to gutsy with "update-manager -c". it ran for a while, but I got lots of errors about libxml2 and gzopen64. now I can't run update-manager. apt-get -f install also is not successful. the error-messages is http://paste.husk.org/10874 [18:53] is anyone willing to help me with my sound issues? [18:53] clearzen: I actually have amd64, not i386... [18:53] !ask [18:53] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [18:53] ok so, let me rephrase my question.... if i had been running gnome and then installed on the same machine kde4, and kde4 is running slowly, is there something i have to do with xserver or something so it will only run one at a time? i'm not sure whats going on, but i'm pretty sure it shouldnt be running this slowly [18:53] erawfish, ok. guess i'll man free :) - i'm going to comment out my swap and reboot. i don't need to do anything else? (ie the system aint gonna die on reboot if i do that) [18:53] does anyone know how to mask a pdf into a jpg? [18:53] witepa: do you have 32bit or 64bit ubuntu [18:53] witepa: are you running the 64bit version of ubuntu? [18:54] RoxanneEDM, what is your problem with sound? [18:54] Nirevus, you could go for it, I guess [18:54] bofh80: if your ubuntu ever runs out of memory it simply kills random processes [18:54] erawfish, cool. [18:54] with 2GB this happens pracically never [18:54] lauren: when you log back into gnome, does it run normally? [18:54] kostkon: im not sure whats wrong, my sound USED to work , now it is not(not sure exactly when it stopped working) [18:54] can I run ubuntu with no swap? I have 2gb ram aswell. [18:54] nickrud, yea [18:54] clearzen and erawfish: the 64bit version [18:54] erawfish, thanks very much for your time, a great help :) [18:54] try this then http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/download.pl?arch=amd64&file=pool%2Funiverse%2Fr%2Frt2500%2Frt2500_1.1.0%2Bcvs20051217-1_amd64.deb&md5sum=164b86156d3897c6afe13294753d9bdc&arch=amd64&type=main [18:55] cvega: you can but usually it doesn't matter. disabling swap has no benefit except saving a few MB on disk which you probably have plenty [18:55] cvega: and you cannot hibernate anymor [18:55] actually its a laptop, hd is not that big ;) [18:55] RoxanneEDM, ok. First of all, have you checked the sound volumes? [18:55] lauren: then most likely it's something with kde4. gnome doesn't run when you log into kde4 (ps -A in a a terminal tells you what's running) and I hear kde4 is not yet ready for prime time [18:55] kostkon: yeah i did, nothing worked [18:55] clearzen: thanks [18:55] cvega: then disabling swap is bad: no more supsend to ram or suspend to disk [18:56] kostkon: i have EVERYTHING unmuted and turned up [18:56] mm... ok. i was told here 20gb should be plenty to play with ubuntu [18:56] cvega: it is [18:56] cvega: it is [18:56] fijam, I only wasn't sure as it said it will "disable SLUB sysfs support". wasn't sure how important this was [18:56] RoxanneEDM, do you get any error message, for example in Totem, or just you don't hear anything while something is playing [18:56] ok. cool. [18:56] hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000 <--- that's what I get when I try mounting my maxtor external hard drive. I already installed ntfs-config and set it to allow writing to external ntfs drives. Do I need to restart my machine to get that working? [18:56] cvega: it is , but swap is assumed to be available to the kernel, works best with [18:57] kost, no it just plays regularly, but no sound, really to me it seems like something is muted, but im sure its not [18:57] erawfish: wow it boots now, got a console, thanks a lot, reinstalling did the job ;-) [18:57] Nirevus, and how do you exactly intend to disable the debugging? [18:57] cvega: look just try the liveCD.. enjoy ubuntu? clear some space + defrag your harddisk and install ubuntu [18:57] i did, and livecd ran horribly for some unknown reason [18:57] cvega: slow? [18:57] i have alternate iso burned [18:58] and will use that for install [18:58] cvega: define horribly :) [18:58] as in running windows 2000 on a 1995 computer horribly [18:58] how to register the nickname ?

[19:43] Toba: ps ux [19:43] no [19:43] what is the difference between a primary partition and an extended partition? [19:43] camden_ ➡ virtualbox doesn't run an existing installation. you have to install the system from within the virtualbox application (on a virtual machine you create) [19:43] I mean make them *not able* to see [19:43] so if they do ps aux they will only see their own stuff [19:43] iirc it's an ioctl thing [19:43] are the ubuntu forums down ? [19:43] or something like that [19:43] avis, i think so [19:43] lima0: so i can't do it without the xp cd? [19:43] Tortured: well, I cant find a diablo II walkthrough on the wiki, and the forums are down for the time being (if youre still having problems in an hour, check there), but here's WoW, which is also a multi-disk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [19:43] Aval0n, yes [19:43] avis rather === braden_ is now known as meoblast001 [19:43] Hey guys: what is the name of the meta-package that will install 32-bit libs and allow me to compile 32-bit programs on AMD64 ?

[19:44] i think i heard about converting the xp partition to a vm file [19:44] millllmannnn, i know that for linux you dont need any primary partitions and i believe there is a limit on primary partitions on a hard drive [19:44] Flannel, thank you [19:44] DRebellion - Could not detect openssl! Please specify the path to the directory containing openssl/ssl.h via the command line option --openssl-includes="/path/to/file" [19:44] Could not detect openssl! Please specify the path to the directory containing openssl/ssl.h via the command line option --openssl-includes="/path/to/file" [19:44] avis 4 primary partitions as far as i remember. [19:44] millllmannnn: it's historical, you can only have 4 primaries, so extended was created which is a primary which serves as a container for more partitions (logical) [19:44] flash amd64 script on forums did nothing === Lettuc3 is now known as L3ttuc3 [19:45] hi guys, i have a problem.

[19:45] hi to the room [19:45] camden_ ➡ you can use an xp iso to install the system from within virtualbox [19:45] astro76 if i remember correctly, the maximum number of partitions is 4 primary, the last one being a container for 4 extended partitions? [19:45] thechris, sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper then download flash from adobe's site, adn extract the libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins then as your user: nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [19:46] camden_ ➡ that is, if you have an iso of the cd [19:46] but MasterShrek you can't flash is broken [19:46] limao: all i have is the xp on my partition [19:46] !flashissues [19:46] The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time.

[19:59] Levander thanks it works on windows [19:59] CursedLord: that was a command to tell ubotu to give you information, check out the link [20:00] Stoffer: use gparted [20:00] sunseeker888: I vaguely remember that there are some issues with wireless keyboard/mouse in Ubuntu. I don't think they just use the standard USB keyboard/mouse drivers even in Windows. You'd have to google to verify that though, I'm not positive. [20:00] What are the generic steps for compiling a third party driver in ubuntu? I was under the assumption that one just downloads the linux-headers package and build-essential packages and compiles as needed, but apparently this is completely wrong. [20:00] Does the live CD have gparted in it? [20:00] Cpudan80: yes [20:00] Does it work? [20:00] fiXXXerMet: Have you got it running? [20:00] Yup [20:00] guys i need some help how do i find out my ip, gateway and subnet mask, ifconfig only shows my ip [20:01] fiXXXerMet: ok - great - thanks [20:01] brobostigon, would I need to mount the volume first? [20:01] levander: cheers, ubuntu forum is down, maintenance [20:01] gabriel: man root [20:01] levander: The restricted driver is already checked. it shouldn't be? [20:01] gabriel: sorry, I meant man route [20:01] Stoffer: i dont think it matters, not sure though [20:01] which link i havent seen any link [20:02] brobostigon, ok, because I currently can't mount it due to it's ntfs-3g file system, which is why I'm changing it to fat32 [20:02] route will give your gateway and netmasks for network interfaces. [20:02] gabriel: Are you connected over wifi? ifconfig should show you all. try iwconfig [20:02] how do i connect to a network printer that is directly connected to our router.... what type of printer would it be? Windows Printer, AppSocket, IPP, LPD/LPR, or Other? [20:02] fiXXXerMet: Run 'glxinfo | grep rendering' to see if you're using hardware acceleration. [20:02] When someone has a minute... whenever I'm drawing something in GIMP for more than a minute, my entire OS freezes. I can still use the mouse, but that's it. I think it's GL related, but I'm not sure.. anybody have any ideas? [20:02] I have problem with sound control.. aumix -v +5 or aumix -v -5 does nothing! while with -w option it works.. [20:02] forums are down for now =( [20:02] fiXXXerMet: That it's checked may mean you're already using the nv driver. [20:02] astro76: I got it... I had the adobe and gnash installed.. must have been somekind of conflict....:) Thank You! [20:02] any idea why global volume is missing on my ubuntu? [20:02] ATG: What video card, ATI or nvidia? [20:02] I have only PCM [20:02] levander: direct rendering: Yes. Curious because xorg.conf shows "driver" "nvidia" and not "nv" [20:02] :( [20:02] flannel no im connected through cable, i need those settings ... i don't exactly know how to find them [20:02] Levander: ATi, it's an old Radeon 9200 SE. Worked fine before [20:02] can someone tell me how to check my ports, or see if any have been opened? [20:02] i dont think my message sent [20:03] oh [20:03] mateusz: It's missing where? [20:03] gabriel: Are you not connected yet? [20:03] ahorriblemess: netstat [20:03] hello? [20:03] thanks [20:03] ahorriblemess: netstat -atp [20:03] ahorriblemess: You can run nmap against yourself, or use 'netstat -tap' [20:03] levander: well when I try to use my phisical volume buttons on my lenovo t61 [20:03] gabriel: dhcp should take care of that [20:03] so is it tap or atp [20:03] levander: they work without compiz [20:03] ahorriblemess: doesn't matter [20:03] levander: when I run compiz they dont [20:03] ahorriblemess: sudo nmap -sS 192.168.1.0/24 [20:03] ATG: Linux has never been that agreeable with ATI cards. It probably does have to do with GL like you say. You could upgrade cards to an nvidia one, or keep playing with GL config to see if you can fix it. [20:03] ok thanks [20:04] brobostigon, fyi, it seems to be working fine [20:04] ATG: Or, just turn off hardware acceleration and use the open source ATI driver? [20:04] flannel i'm connected on my desktop pc, dhcp ... but my laptop doesn't want to connect with dhcp so i thought i could manually set them ..but i forgot them, i had them on a piece of paper somewhere [20:04] brobostigon, thanks [20:04] anyone have any idea why I'd suddenly lose the ability to type in the location box in file browser? while still being able to type elsewhere [20:04] levander: I dont have gobal volume in mixer appler [20:04] levander: only pcm [20:04] sudo nmap -sS 192.168.1.0/24 [20:04] Stoffer: youre welcome [20:04] gabriel: Ah, you can set them. You can check on your desktop, they should be the same. If you control the router, you can chcek on the router too. [20:04] levander: It's always worked before, I'm assuming the problem is related to the fact that I just upgraded motherboards. Redid everything, it all worked fine except the video. So, I'll try with hardware accel off. Thanks! [20:04] flannel i dont know where to find them on my desktop that's why i'm asking ... ifconfig only displays my ip [20:05] mateusz: I have no idea, sorry. I'd look for info from the ALSA project (sound drivers Ubuntu uses). Maybe there's an #alsa channel on freenode? [20:05] clearzen, actually, the -sS flag isn't needed as this is the default. also, it would be best to run with root privaleges (sudo) to get the best detection. :P [20:05] my ati works fine. it being an x1950Pro. You tried using the binary from the ati website ATG? [20:05] fiXXXerMet: Where are you with the nv driver? [20:05] ahorriblemess: sudo nmap -sS -p 21-9000 192.168.1.0/24 would be a little faster [20:05] dmarsa: i'm actually doing that now, thanks [20:05] gabriel: ah, this is on the desktop. Um, try one of the GUI things. It may tell you. Or, we can just assume you've got a normal setup. Whats the IP of your desktop machine? [20:06] ubuntu is starting to irritate me the last few weeks.... soon im gonna stop defending it over windows [20:06] meoblast001: Is that a threat? [20:06] gabriel: ifconfig should give mask also, route -v will give mask and gateway [20:06] sounds like it... [20:07] Hello, I am attempting to install a .tar package, I am in the extracted directory and I type ./configure however nothing happens [20:07] ok, so I checked netstat, I don't knowwhat I"m looking at, how would I know if a port is open? [20:07] levander: no its the truth [20:07] !patience | meoblast001 [20:07] user error [20:07] meoblast001: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [20:07] thanks i got it, flannel, astro76 thanks [20:07] I'm on Windows, but I just came here to LOL. [20:07] he is the one who knows the truth [20:07] Flannel: He wasn't being rude, I was just playing with him. [20:07] !patience | meoblast001 [20:07] er. gah [20:07] levander: if computers just dont stop working.... im gonna stop.... i reinstalled the whole dang os and i still have a dang bug on my login screen [20:08] levander: i gave up on that [20:08] meoblast001: Cool. [20:08] is there a way to find out why amarok is taking 92% of my cpu whenever the track changes? [20:08] is Fat32 a really slow file system? Because it takes around 6 sec to delete a text file from my Fat32 external usb hdd [20:08] looking for help on mounting please? [20:08] meoblast001: You've been here for a little over 20 minutes, don't despair just yet. [20:08] meoblast001: I'd tell you what kind of printer it is, but I don't know. [20:08] does canonical offer tech support and how much [20:08] synacktion, what are you trying to mount? [20:08] meoblast001: Try #cups for that question? [20:08] hi [20:08] k [20:08] meoblast001, yes they do, ubuntu.com should give you information, but you are better off here getting free support imho [20:08] meoblast001: canonical.com/support - no idea how much [20:09] talking bout support? [20:09] L3ttuc3: where can i look : http://rafb.net/p/JFiXHS95.html [20:09] syngindub001, what are you trying to mount? [20:09] i dont have intentions on angering anyone but 90% of the time i leave without an answer [20:09] if you have to copy a multi disk game to hd to install under wine, do you have to have a no cd patch? boy its a bummer the forums are down [20:09] i have an external drive that mounts when i boot to /dev/sb1 and i access through /media/disk. however sometimes i need to umount and repair. how can i easily remount to previous location [20:09] meoblast001, you have yet to ask a question since ive been here, there arent always people aroudn who know exactly what you are trying to do [20:10] beg your pardon [20:10] sdb1 [20:10] meoblast001: Me too. I kind of figure this channel is really for noobs. Ubuntu has a lot of people trying Linux for the first time since it's so easy. You're not trying just the basic stuff. [20:10] meoblast001, have you ever consulted the forums? (they are down atm) but they are very useful [20:10] meoblast001: you can only get an answer, if somone knows an answer, if no one answers, no one knows [20:10] * olie oops [20:10] epifanio you're already there, it's a file, syslog or kern.log [20:10] does anyone have an idea on how to get a dwl-120+ working on ubuntu? [20:10] MasterShrek: i did and they told me to go away because its "down" [20:10] syngindub001, first off you need a place to mount it, /media/sdb1 is usually a good sopt: sudo mkdir /media/sdb1 [20:11] epifanio however, you can also access those via system -> administration -> system log. that would probably be easier considering. [20:11] yes i find it, reading and paste [20:11] meoblast001: Not everyone is awake all the time, you've just gotta be patient, repeat your question every 20 minutes or so. Eventually, someone who's on will be able to help. While waiting, check the forums and google (I know, forums are down at the moment). [20:11] brobostigon: we'll someone here has to have a network printer, the Gnome they used in feisty had a very easy interface, then they changed it [20:11] T_T [20:11] meoblast001, i dont use gnome, but try #cups or #gnome if you cant get help here [20:11] Flannel: i googled until the results stopped having the word ubuntu in it [20:12] anyone familiar with installing flash player on opera in ubuntu? [20:12] am i writing on the right place? [20:12] syngindub001, then: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 [20:12] b3by: looks like it [20:12] b3by: to do what?

The others are right too, you might try asking the cups people proper. [20:13] pharum: With...? [20:13] i have strange problem with my mouse :/ [20:13] i red documentation [20:13] i have 9 button mouse but i can use only 3 buttons [20:13] Flannel: no one in cups is even toalking [20:13] hi, I'd like to install Ubuntu on my Acer TM 2480. Anybody out here who can tell me if it goes well? (WLAN, sleep) [20:13] holy crap [20:13] synacktion, thats because its being auto-mounted, you can just create a directory, like i said before to mount it where you want it. [20:13] but i still can't find my answer [20:13] A 9 button mouse? [20:13] meoblast001: it's probably going to be AppSocket/HP JetDirect [20:13] yea [20:13] ndiswrapper doesn't work [20:13] pharum: picture!

[20:14] astro76: by hostname, does it mean ip address? [20:14] meoblast001: but if it's newish it's possible it's IPP, the manual should help [20:14] meoblast001, either way, ip address is probably better imo [20:14] How do you mount a dual layer ISO so that you can view both sessions?

[20:16] MasterShrek, can i override the auto-mount so i can specify where it gets mounted ? [20:17] has any one put yahoo messgr on ubuntu and how do it work [20:17] syngindub001: yes, it is set in the /etc/fstab file [20:17] syngindub001, you can set where it mounts in fstab [20:17] mrgogetem: I just use Pidgin [20:17] mrgogetem: I think pidgin works with yahoo [20:18] pidgin works better [20:18] ok i'll try that [20:18] epifanio what jumps out at me are the error messages around line 248 in the first paste about rpcbind... however, im not entirely sure how to fix it. === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [20:18] ya but i cant get my cam to work [20:18] You wouldn't in yahoo messenger either [20:18] whys that [20:19] The official yahoo messeneger for linux doesn't have webcam support [20:19] But [20:19] HOW TO TURN OFF indexing thing [20:19] There was another messenger client that did have that, I'll rememeber what it was called in a minute [20:19] mateusz: system > prefs > sessions, uncheck Tracker [20:19] mateusz: system -> preferences -> indexing no need for the caps [20:20] what if ndiswrapper tells me driver installation could be wrong?

[21:02] well whats wrong with my sound [21:02] why wont it work? [21:02] spaleyES: What error are you getting? [21:02] Hi! I need a help: I've set up headless server with VNC access for users (XFCE) and I found out that everyone can power off or reset the machine via logout button in XFCE! How can I disable it? [21:02] Holmes89, what are you trying to do? [21:02] spaley is not in the sudoers file [21:03] but spaley is the only account I created (and done during install) [21:03] can someone tell me what channel on here is for php help [21:03] Holmes89, what are you trying to transfer :)? [21:03] print test page works! but printing anything from other programs does not work. the print jobs just queue up somewhere. help [21:03] Somebody please, I need help. I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 but now it won't let me mount my CD-ROM which I really need [21:03] soundray - try running ssh with the -v option for more verbose logging - that may turn up some error messages you can look into [21:03] why would the Synaptic package manager be able to easily find kde4-core while Adept would not? [21:03] eifzon_: yeah both empty [21:03] Does anyone know an alternate place I can get the sun-java6-plugin package? I can't seem to sudo apt-get install it or find it in Synaptic. [21:04] yaro: have a look at medibuntu, it miht be there [21:04] I get the error "mount: special device /dev/hdb does not exist" [21:04] Geezle - type groups in a terminal to check if you are part of the cdrom group [21:04] yaro: not sure you saw my response in all the chatter, but the error I get is "spaley is not in the sudoers file". Of course, since spaley is the only account I can use (it's the only one I created at install) I don't understand why 'spaley' isn't in the sudoers file. Shouldn't that be automatic? [21:05] I give up :( [21:05] with my sound [21:05] Yep, the cdrom shows up there === chuck_ is now known as ozymo [21:05] /goto +99999999999999999999999 [21:05] danand_: thanks -- I'll try [21:05] my friend on a comic channel is trying to help me [21:05] spaleyAE: Yes, it should. [21:05] sorry [21:06] guten tag allerseits [21:06] yaro: right, so any ideas on what to do about it? I could reinstall from scratch but that seems drastic, and with no guarantee that I'd have a different outcome. [21:06] Is it possible I did something wrong during install? Doesn't seem like I had a lot of options to screw up. [21:06] Hi someone cat tell me how to encode audio in Mp3 [21:06] ? [21:06] Geezle - are you sure hdb is your cdrom drive? [21:06] spaleyAE: How long have you been in this current install? Do you have a lot of data? [21:06] yaro: installed it this afternoon for the first time [21:06] no data [21:07] starting over is an option [21:07] danand_ as far as I know it is...that's what it's set to in /etc/fstab but give me a minute and I'll double check [21:07] I just don't understand what I could have done wrong during install though. [21:07] spaleyAE: That's what I would do. I'm not sure if sudoers is a group. Anyone know if it is? [21:07] Geezle - try eject /dev/hdb and see if your cdrom tray pops out! [21:07] 'spaley' is in the 'adm' group which I assume is admin, yes? [21:08] danand_: no dice, it says it's unable to open or find the device [21:08] spaleyAE: it should be admin, not adm [21:08] spaley - adm is a different group to admin [21:08] danand_: ah, ok [21:09] hi all [21:09] Geezle, why not just use /dev/cdrom? it should be linked to your device either way [21:09] 'spaley' is in adm, dialout, cdrom, floppy, audio, dip, video, plugdev, scanner and lpadmin [21:09] or did you try that Geezle ? [21:09] how do you find the physical address of the boot device in Ubuntu? [21:09] want to reinstall GRUB [21:09] dmarsa: when I try to eject /dev/cdrom I get the same error [21:09] danand_: ssh -v does not give any details relating to the DRM error [21:10] Starnestommy: Can you think of any reason why 'spaley', which was created as part of the installer process, should not have automatically been added to the 'admin' group? [21:10] !flash [21:10] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [21:10] fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied [21:10] dmarsa I'm trying to copy over an assets folder and some html documents [21:10] Why is that? [21:10] Is there a simple way to check where my cdrom is? [21:10] from anywhere if someone can help [21:10] I'm trying to use afpfs-ng [21:11] branstrom: you need to 'sudo adduser $USER fuse' (add yourself to the fuse group) [21:11] soundray: hm, kay [21:11] I have ubuntu desktop and windows on the same computer as ubuntu server [21:11] branstrom: and then logout and login again [21:11] !fuse > branstrom, see also the help pages (private message) [21:11] Geezle: where have you seen your cdrom last time? [21:11] Thanks, guys. [21:11] I also have network computers so I just need to transfer the files somehow to the server [21:12] Geezle: nevermind [21:12] anyone familiar with installing flash player on opera in ubuntu? [21:12] martillo: is it on the adobe flash download page? [21:12] ok, last time for now to everyone... why would it be that I would create a user 'spaley' during install and it would not be given admin privilege? [21:13] well Holmes89, the command you want to use is 'cp' used as 'cp /source/directory/file /destination/directory/file' . however i don't know where you want to copy to. so you might have to clear that up [21:13] spaleyAE: sounds like a bug [21:13] spaleyAE - agree with Starnestommy [21:13] right but how to I get it off of a thumb drive [21:13] thiemster: i downloaded it from the opera page, and it installed, but only for firefox [21:13] spaleyAE: I think you can go into recovery mode, log in as root, and do 'adduser spaley admin' [21:13] it can't find it so how do I mount it? [21:13] Put myself in Medibuntu, installed in Synaptic and.... Firefox still doesn't see it. [21:13] martillo: you just need to make a symlink or copy to /usr/lib/opera/plugins [21:14] Starnestommy: ok, I'll try that. I'm using 7.10 server, btw. [21:14] Starnestommy: thanks [21:14] oh I just need to copy it to the /var/www/ folder [21:14] spaleyAE - no - just sudo adduser spaley admin [21:14] Starnestommy: what's the easiest way into recovery mode? [21:14] danand_: I can't use sudo [21:14] demreath: thanks, but keep in mind im still a newbie [21:14] spaleyAE: reboot? [21:14] you need to copy from a thumb drive to the /var/www folder? [21:14] danand_: that's exactly the problem I'm having [21:14] I know where I need to put it, the command to copy it, I just don't know how to get the server to find where to copy it from [21:14] yeah [21:14] Starnestommy: great, th [21:14] thx [21:14] how can I unzip a listing and redirect to a file [21:15] spaleyAE - oh crap - of course :) [21:15] holmes are you familiar with the mount command at all? [21:15] no [21:15] unzip -l test.zip > test isn't right [21:15] martillo: sudo cp /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins/ [21:15] Not making any headway here... "open DRM failed" when I run glxgears remotely via ssh. (local glxgears works) [21:15] Why isn't Firefox recognizing Java? Is it becaue I'm using an AMD64 system? [21:15] Evening all [21:15] Do somone know whats wrong? [21:16] soundray: still I cannot mount if I don't sudo - it seems the mounting in particular is failing... Before it complained about permission but not now, it just says "mounting failed" [21:16] soundray - can you remotely open other X apps [21:16] Any one know of a good (multi-core aware) * to dvd tool , transcoding software ? [21:16] demreath: in the command window? [21:16] yaro: yes. You can install the 32bit java plugin into 64bit firefox with nspluginwrapper [21:16] dax_roc: mencoder [21:16] ive got a toshiba satellite pro and when i try and change the volume it stops playing sound altogether untill i reboot [21:16] martillo: in terminal [21:16] ikonia: is it multi-core aware ? [21:16] danand_: yes, non GLX programs are fine [21:16] soundray: I was afraid of that. But I had to do that with Flash... [21:16] does anyone know what could be wrong [21:17] demreath: THANK YOU [21:17] branstrom: you need to log out and in again to activate the group change [21:17] soundray: The target directory that I'm trying to mount in is now a+rwx and owned by me, and it still doesn't work. [21:17] is anyone familiar with designworks? [21:17] hey guys , i need help in installin Backtrack 3 on my hard drive , i know this is the ubuntu channel but i couldn't find any solution in any other channel , anyway , when it loads it freezes after an error :"kernel panic - not syncing : vfs : unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,3) " so any ideas ? [21:17] soundray: did that :/ [21:17] Starnestommy: when I went into recovery mode, I"m in as root, but I tried 'adduser spaley admin' and got 'The group 'admin' does not exist.' [21:17] My apt-get is broken - keeps saying f-spot and others reporting errors: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1), apt-get install -f [21:17] doesn't fix it [21:17] Holmes89, ok... well to make it easier, create a directory using 'sudo mkdir /directory/name/' . then use the mount command to mount the thumb drive in the directory you just created. i.e 'sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /directory/created'. the /dev/sd? depends on what your thumb drive is [21:17] wtf? [21:17] the permissions error is gone, but it won't mount... [21:17] soundray - hmmm.... [21:17] so weird [21:18] spaleyAE: Try sudo usermod -G admin -a spaley [21:18] spaleyAE: try editing /etc/sudoers with visudo in recoverymode [21:18] also every time i play sound i get this really high pitched noise in the background [21:18] branstrom: did you read the help as linked in the ubotu factoid? [21:18] how do i get flash working in gutsy? [21:18] !flashissues [21:18] The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now, although it might not have yet reached all mirrors.

Now any unpriviliged user can do it! [21:19] spaleyAE - does cat /etc/group | grep admin show anything? [21:19] demreath: Would that be a better question for the xubutu channel ? [21:19] danand_: it shows lpadmin:x:117:spaley [21:19] I did just add 'spaley' to sudoers [21:19] so maybe that'll fix me up [21:20] soundray: yeah, not sure what to look for though [21:20] Anyone looked into the vmsplice() exploit yet? [21:20] but I'm wondering now if anything else is 'broken' [21:20] okay what do you mean the /dev/sdb depends on the thumb drive? === chryss_ is now known as chryss [21:20] spaleyAE - lpadmin is line printer admin - it appears you don't have an admin group :O [21:20] danand_: agreed, but shouldn't that have happened during install? [21:20] spaleyAE: If this was a botched install (groups are made at the end), its likely that there are other issues. You might try reinstalling [21:20] branstrom: what's the command that fails? === Gnea_ is now known as Gnea [21:20] Flannel: I think you're probably correct [21:20] spaleyAE - no, definately not [21:21] well the thumb drive will be of the /dev/sd range. if you have no SATA or SCSI drives it should be sda, otherwise it could span through sda sdb sdc etc etc. [21:21] ok, I'm going to reinstall... annoying but not the end of the world... thanks for the help everyone [21:21] spaleyAE - agree with reinstall [21:21] spaleyAE: I think someone came in here before with a similar issue. Editing /etc/sudoers worked. [21:21] spaleyAE - luck [21:21] soundray: afp_client mount -u fredrik -p - Benton.local:Share /lan/share [21:21] Starnestommy: yeah, I did that, but now I"m worried what else is broken [21:22] probably best to at least try a clean reinstall first [21:22] Hello there [21:22] I mean, it doesn't take THAT long ;) [21:22] it says I get the wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb (or sda) missing codepage or other error [21:22] /lan/share exists and is a+rwx and owned by my user [21:22] any known issues with 7.10 server regarding the problems I am seeing? [21:23] spaleyAE: Did you check the CD for defects? [21:23] branstrom: and the same thing works when you do it with sudo? [21:23] Okay, this is starting to *really* get me mad. [21:23] soundray: correct [21:23] Holmes89, try leave the 'vfat' out of the mount command i gave... [21:23] Flannel: yes, that's the first thing I did before installing. It checked out 100% fine.

Thanks for your help! Take care [22:03] hee heehello [22:03] marylou: if it's a new board, you may have to wait for the release of hardy [22:03] hi [22:03] guess what? [22:03] should check for smart reporting [22:03] I fixed my problem [22:03] I remembered that in a moment of paranoia I installed firestarter [22:03] <[adw]> so, trying to make apache2 and mysql start manually, instead of automatic on boot, anyone know? [22:03] could someone explain to me why I am unable to gain an IP from my AP? (no security) [22:03] anyone installed e-uae ? is there a Synaptic install ? [22:03] It's a firewall. So I switched it off (i've no idea what it does anyway) and tada! [22:03] cbx33: indeed... sooo many bad php-scripts out there.... [22:04] I can connect to ubuntu again [22:04] Does anyone know why when i turn my card back to mode managed it turns to ath1 instead of ath0? [22:04] ahave: perhaps your AP doesn't have a DHCP server running? [22:04] StYX: I'm trying to look up more information on the raid controller at the moment, it might be a bit [22:04] ubuntu.com is now giving me my packages [22:04] soundray, my laptop is using it now [22:04] soundray, and i can obtain a list of dhcp clients [22:04] mind, there's one thing I'd like to ask about [22:04] Also i cant seem to get it to connect to my Secured 2Wire Router.. [22:05] soundray, and what is odd is that i can see my ubuntu box on there twice. one for ethernet one for wireless perhaps? [22:05] when using synaptics I got this warning message saying "software can not be authenticated". [22:05] Like what does that mean? [22:05] Does anyone have any experience of installing hamachi on ubuntu? I could use some help since i really can't get it to work... (Pretty new on linux ;) ) [22:05] Can't dd just copy a partition exactly with the same size? [22:05] screenname92834: you're using some external repos without having the key for them [22:05] Where is it getting this software from anyway? and what kind of authentication does it expect? [22:05] StYX: do an 'lsmod | grep adpahci' and tell me if you have the adpahci driver loaded [22:05] dep: thanks. and helpful link would be fine. browsed the forum already but couldn't find anything helpful, only someone with the same prob [22:05] dep: will so, one sec [22:05] Do I need to install a key? [22:06] WHOOT [22:06] screenname92834: yes.. there is usually a line with wget .... that you run to add the key to your system [22:06] ahave: some wireless chipsets are finicky. Have you tried your Ubuntu setup with another AP? [22:06] * Neochick loves her ubuntu again [22:06] ADHDYoshi, If you use dd be sure to backup any information on that partion thats where it got its name "dd=Data Destroyer" [22:06] hooray! [22:06] soundray, no i have not [22:06] screenname92834: have you added any repos lately? [22:06] !dd > ADHDYoshi [22:06] i just accidented deleted a folder, how can i undo it? [22:06] !dd [22:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about dd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:06] i used rm -rfd [22:06] hmm.. [22:06] !DD [22:07] ahave: what's your wireless chipset? [22:07] soundray, could this be a driver issue? i have realtek 8187 chipset [22:07] i accidently deleted a folder rm -rfd folder [22:07] once i moved the screen thing around so i could see it wanted me to type thingsi could to the xserver-xorg thing ^^ [22:07] how can i undo? [22:07] * Neochick has learned something today === kkkkkkkkkk is now known as kbroks === kbroks is now known as kbrooks [22:07] slart: I don't know [22:07] i can mount NFS export in terminal, but not by the fstab, anyone? [22:07] i try to run and configure Dnsmasq on my machine now ... and i dont know what nameserver i need to enter i n/etc/resolv.conf its the primary dns from my isp ? [22:08] dep: not loaded [22:08] hey guys this isn't really ubuntu related but it is computer related. how can you put a password on just a normal folder or do you have to use a different type of folder or something [22:08] screenname92834: what's in your /etc/apt/sources.list ? pastebin it? [22:08] any idea ? [22:08] -_-; [22:08] slart: So let me get this right: every repo will sign its output, and if you have its key, you can verify the source of your package? === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [22:09] dep: i'm checking this from export mode - execute a shell. is that correct? [22:09] !gpg | pingu [22:09] pingu: gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [22:09] pingu: I don't think you can do that on regular vanilla ubuntu... there are probably something you can install to enable it though [22:09] I'll get etc/apt/sources out. [22:09] screenname92834: that's how I understand it [22:09] pingu, try PGP [22:09] what's the latest on the Intel X3100 chipset? any users here? [22:09] http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/10/2011257 <-- are you guys serious?!!!!! [22:09] sorry soundray [22:10] how did a root exploit make it into a final release?!!! [22:10] Is there a way to login to gnome desktop via SSH? [22:10] slart so the risk is that someone can impersonate a repo by cutting wires on the 'net somewhere? right? [22:10] secleinteer: it was just recently discovered, I think [22:10] screenname92834: well.. I don't know if there is a risk.. but someone thought about it anyway.. =) [22:10] Starnestommy: it's been on /. for 47 mins now, should've been fixed already.... [22:11] screenname92834: but that's the scenario that it's supposed to prevent I guess [22:11] slart: indeed. [22:11] StYX: The problem is that the driver you need is called 'adpahci', and as far as I can tell it is not open source. HP seems to have released it for RHEL, but I haven't found source anywhere yet, still looking but you might be out of luck for that raid device [22:11] secleinteer: it takes a while for new things to get packaged up. [22:11] slart: but how can I verify that I have the right key when I get it? [22:11] Starnestommy: this seems a bit urgent... [22:11] any one installed e-uae amiga emulator on ubuntu ? [22:11] secleinteer, are you running a network? [22:11] secleinteer: it'll still take a while [22:12] screenname92834: well... we could always compare keys.. then they'd have to fool us both [22:12] dmarsa: no, but i have people that have ssh axx to my box... [22:12] Is there a way to login to gnome desktop via SSH? [22:12] dep: telling from the forum installation seems to work with some v6 release of ubunto. but seems they used a different raid controller then [22:12] and why is firefox being updated to 2.0.0.12 when there is a directory scaling exploit in it? [22:12] screenname92834: but basically, if someone's setup a false repo then you'd get the the false repos's key too.. [22:12] slart: but it seems to me that the key only verifies that you are connected to the same repo as last time. [22:12] screenname92834: correct [22:12] good-oh [22:12] block ssh port. problem solved :P [22:12] screenname92834: that's what IRL gpg keysigning parties are for [22:12] now I need to look at etc/something [22:13] secleinteer: you've lost me I'm afraid [22:13] screenname92834: take a look at this page.. they describe how to add the key first.. then the repo http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb [22:13] hi all [22:13] screenname92834: that's basically how it looks on all repos I've used [22:13] What does Buffer I/O error on device sda3, logical block 19929674 mean? [22:13] does anyone know how to start gnome-terminal windows with custom window title? (--name= doesn't seem to work) [22:13] screenname92834: IRL GPG keysigning parties are used to ensure the prevention of impersonation [22:13] ok I'll look it up. Back in a mo. [22:14] when i put my hd in standby with hdparm it quickly wake up in a second..it's a known issue? [22:14] how i can see process tree? [22:14] hdevalence-: bad news. Is it a hard disk? [22:14] sometimes after using my computer for awhile, my sound card will act up and aplay/speaker-test/etc will fail to play sound, with a decive busy error. (other programs appear not to be effected). restarting fixes the problem, but is there a way to fix it with the computer staying on? [22:14] how large is a normal server installation? [22:14] soundray: yeah === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [22:14] secleinteer: but as a regular user I can't verify that the key I get from the repo webpage is the correct one.. [22:14] screenname92834: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_signing_party [22:14] hi [22:14] hdevalence-: rescue your data and distrust that disk. [22:14] whilst I'm here tho I will just say that I am so so so totally impressed with my laptop (which only cost 320 quid) and ubuntu [22:15] and all the free software you can get for it. [22:15] Slart: that's why you have to meet the person IRL and get their pgp key... [22:15] hey... did anyone hear about this? http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/10/2011257 [22:15] Is there a way to login to gnome desktop via SSH? [22:15] or anyone know what vmsplice is? [22:15] simps: X tunneling? [22:15] Cpudan80, i dunno what that means ;x [22:15] screenname92834-> maybe you can donate to the needy what you have saved? :) [22:15] Siph0n: yes.. heard about it.. it's bad I guess [22:15] Siph0n: yeah, i'm hecka pissed about it right now [22:15] simps: ssh -X server machine [22:15] soundray: it's a hardware problem? [22:15] and it's all free!! anything you want, download it, and it's free (and doesn't work). [22:16] simps: ex. ssh -X 192.168.1.177 [22:16] amenado: I sponsor an elephant in kenya. Howzat? [22:16] hdevalence-: yes, until proven otherwise. [22:16] I need help on virtual box i recieve a error [22:16] is a bug? upgrading to hdparm hardy version will help? [22:16] StYX: still looking through HP's notes, as a side note I dislike HP [22:16] simps and then gnome-session & to get the desktop remoted to yours [22:16] simps: That will allow you to load up applications with GUIs [22:16] so if i plug in a usb device and then unplug it, where would the log for this be? [22:16] hdevalence-: when you've saved your data, you can experiment with S.M.A.R.T. testing etc. [22:16] anyway, I'm off to get some tea. [22:16] BIOSboiler_: check dmesg.. or /var/log/syslog [22:17] simps: You may want to consider VNC over SSH [22:17] dep: found some notes about that driver as well. looks like closed source and available for suse and redhat only [22:17] I need help on virtual box i recieve a error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55531/ [22:17] soundray: dmesg gives me a bunch of stuff about sda Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbye=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK [22:17] and I'm hearing funny noises [22:17] BIOSboiler-> dmesg gets log to /var/log/messages [22:18] hdevalence-: better bin that disk. [22:18] dep: i'd do software raid but i already tried to install just on a single disk for a test. creating the root fs always freezes at 33%. so looks like using ahci only without radi is also not working realiable [22:18] what does dmesg stand for? [22:18] BIOSboiler: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmesg [22:18] Cpudan80, i'm trying to do that :P except i can't do it if it's not logged in. also, how would i use a different port because i didn't set ssh to the default port [22:19] simps: you didnt set SSH to the default port? [22:19] Why? [22:19] BIOSboiler: it prints the kernel ring buffer [22:19] simps: ssh -p 1234 -X server [22:19] simps and you may want to add -C option to compress [22:19] simps: You need to follow a specific set of instructions to get VNC to work without being logged in... those are at... ehhh hang on [22:20] simps: http://www.movingtofreedom.org/2007/02/16/howto-remote-desktop-with-vnc-in-ubuntu-edgy-gnu-linux/ [22:20] setting ssh to other port than 22 is good pretection against automated login attacks [22:20] simps: works in gutsy [22:20] ya it is [22:20] sometimes after using my computer for awhile, my sound card will act up and aplay/speaker-test/etc will fail to play sound, with a decive busy error. (other programs appear not to be effected). restarting fixes the problem, but is there a way to fix it with the computer staying on? [22:20] simps: except gdm is no under etc/gdm/ (instead of /etc/X11/gdm [22:20] StYX: hmmm did you set the controller to act as JBOD before you tried to install? [22:20] sudo echo server1.example.com > /etc/hostname >>> bash: /etc/hostname: Permission denied [22:20] why ? [22:21] how do i run a check on my external hard drive i think its failing/dieing [22:21] dep: does jbod means "no raid"? :) if it's "raid disabled" then yes [22:21] Cpudan80, i shall read that article now [22:21] yoluca: because sudo doesn't act on the redirection. try echo server1.example.com | sudo tee /etc/hostname [22:22] StYX: jbod==just a bunch of disks [22:22] someone knows why i can't put my hd on standby mode? [22:22] no raid [22:22] StYX: sorry, jbod = just a bunch of disks, yeah, raid disabled =) hmmm [22:22] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JBOD#Concatenation_.28JBOD_or_SPAN.29 [22:22] how do i run a check on my external hard drive i think its failing/dieing [22:22] simps: at the end, ssh to the server first (with -X) then do the vncviewer localhost thing [22:23] some usb enclosures allow for smart reporting, pingu [22:23] pingu: fsck [22:23] fsck -t ext3 /dev/sda1 [22:23] pingu [22:23] slt [22:24] the concept of LVM, one creates the raid before putting LVM on top right? [22:24] pingu: look at smartmontools as well [22:24] hey guys [22:24] is there some fix for this bug: ?http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=464953 [22:24] Yo peeps I am having issues running firefox from xterm when typing "firefox" its in /usr/local/bin/firefox [22:24] or raid has to use LVM ? [22:25] its quite bad [22:25] soundray thanks [22:25] What do I needa do to get it working so I can type "firefox" and it will work? [22:25] Evening guys [22:25] Hello. I have problem with Java, I can't get applications as firefox or opera to use latest version. How I do that [22:26] Oh yeah, in the Update Manager [22:26] ubuntu forums passed 500,000 members a minute ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [22:26] furytho1 they using the plugin? [22:26] thiemster: how is that relevant here - please keep on topic [22:26] Does Ubuntu have ThinkFinger packages? [22:26] It says that I need to upgrade the newest version of compiz-core to the newest version === zamanfou_ is now known as bin_d [22:26] and when I do, it's still there >_> [22:26] StYX: yeah, the driver for that embedded raid device is closed source and I can't find any open source projects working on it. This is likely because the driver just implements most of the raid in software and you wont get much performance gain from a driver that uses the device [22:26] what does this mean There are differences between boot sector and its backup. [22:26] Differences: (offset:original/backup) [22:26] I think this is the right place to ask, i've just tried installing ubuntu, and when i try to boot from Hard disk, i get an error message "GRUB Error 18" 1. Is it possible to fix? 2. If not, how do i remove GRUB? [22:26] Anyone know how to make a pc with ssh accept connections, using ssh, that tunnel through a proxy? [22:26] Backdraft-> what happens when you do type that full path on the xterm? [22:26] i installed ubuntu and then vista. i lost the bootloader, so i ran sudo grub via a ubuntu live cd. i used: root (hd0,0) and setup (hd0). now i lost vista. how do i add them to the bootloader menu? (vista?). [22:26] Backdraft I did download latest version from Sun website, and followed instrctions, now applications just do not see it... [22:27] dep: i've used win on this server before. disk i/o is a pain anyway on that box :) [22:27] Anemado it works [22:27] pingu: I think ext2, extx3 keeps a backup of the boot sector somewhere else on the drive.. they should be the same.. if they are not.. something has changed one of them.. it's usually bad [22:27] dep: i'll try to get it to work with a linux software raid then [22:27] Furttho1 you needa install the plugin into firefox/opera then it will start working [22:27] Slart, it a NTFS disk [22:27] Anyone know how to make a pc with ssh accept connections, using ssh, that tunnel through a proxy? [22:27] Backdraft-> so what was the issue? [22:27] how I do that ? [22:27] pingu: perhaps ntfs does the same [22:27] I wanna be lazy and type firefox [22:27] StYX: sounds good, best of luck [22:27] Stevethepirate: ssh listens on the same port - it doesn't care what incoming connections come from [22:27] ikonia: sorry, i just thought it was a really big deal [22:28] Like I can do on openbsd and freebsd [22:28] thiemster: not really [22:28] Slart, should I copy the original to the back up or the other way around? [22:28] hey [22:28] Hello all. I want to make a startup script, But I have never done it before. The command i want to run is "x11vnc -display :0 -rfbport 5907 -repeat -forever -nobell -xrandr -shared -cursor most -alwaysshared -bg". How would i do this? [22:28] mateusz: check thinkwiki for all details [22:28] dep: many thanks for your help [22:28] oi [22:28] Backdraft-> ahh you put that first in the $PATH [22:28] ikonia: Well, i basically need to make ssh act as a proxy. [22:28] Chri2, grub is the boot loader, u need it to boot, dont remove it [22:28] i installed ubuntu and then vista. i lost the bootloader, so i ran sudo grub via a ubuntu live cd. i used: root (hd0,0) and setup (hd0). now i lost vista. how do i add them to the bootloader menu? (vista?). [22:28] pingu: I have no idea.. which one do you think is broken? =) [22:28] Stevethepirate: ok - thats different, you need to do ssh tunneling [22:28] Micheru: add it to /etc/rc.local [22:28] how can i find the name of the partition i installed vista? [22:28] bin_d you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:28] furytho1: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=53648&stc=1&d=1198033466 [22:28] ikonia: Exactly. [22:28] sup? [22:28] export PATH??? [22:28] pingu: look here .. some info about this http://bootmaster.filerecovery.biz/appnote3.html [22:28] dmarsa, how can i find the name of the partition? [22:28] Slart, i have no idea I don't untherstand it very well [22:28] Stevethepirate: there is a guide on help.ubuntu.com [22:29] i am already editing menu.lst . [22:29] can anyone here tell me how to change the default media player ? I've gone through the preferred applications but for whatever reasoning it isn't detecting I'm running amarok [22:29] out of interest [22:29] is this the ubuntu help channel? [22:29] soundray: how? i don't know the syntax, or is it just a text file with the command in it? [22:29] GLORY: sure [22:29] GLORY thats what I hear [22:29] Chri2, when i have installation problems I usally try another inst cd, burn another one, form diff mirror [22:29] Backdraft-> yeah..have that path to firefox as the 1st in order of search [22:29] ikonia: Unfortunately. I am capped. I can't access the internet. Without this tunnel :( [22:29] heh, i'm new to all this and i just need help w/ stuff [22:29] what is the correct directory to place a ".o" input module? [22:29] amenado cool [22:29] Chri2, And let it install grub for you [22:29] I'm back [22:29] pingu: can't say I do either.. but a boot sector isn't that hard to replace.. even if it's broken [22:29] Stevethepirate: how are you accessing this channel then [22:29] Micheru: have a look at that file. It should be obvious what to do. You may have to add a & at the end of your command [22:29] let's all celebrate [22:29] I'm trying to install my graphics card's drivers through the command line, but I can't remember how to anymore. Does anyone remember the command(s) to run the .run file? [22:29] how can i find the name of the partition i installed vista? [22:29] I see what a keysigning party is anyway. [22:29] bin_d you don't need it... according to mine anyway. just title vista, root (hd0,0), savedefault, makeactive, chainloader +1 [22:30] GLORY: just describe your problem in detail and we'll help you [22:30] I have access to a local server, which has access to the internet on all non port 80 ports. [22:30] hmmmmm [22:30] oh [22:30] you don't really need 'parties' however. [22:30] soundray: ah its a file not a path, thanks [22:30] AHemlocksLie: ./file.run [22:30] dmarsa, hd0,0 is linux [22:30] or not? [22:30] i see that [22:30] it is [22:30] visualdeception: thanks [22:30] Stevethepirate: your tunnel will still need access to a box that has connection to the internet on port 80 so tha tyou forward say port 123 on your box to 80 on the other [22:30] AHemlocksLie: but you need to right click on it and select properties to make sure you can run it [22:30] my partitioning is different [22:30] sorry [22:30] well [22:30] the principle is that presence A will verify that B's key is b, so if you are SURE you have A's key, and trust him, [22:30] is your hdd sata? [22:30] np [22:31] i think [22:31] then you have B's key b as well [22:31] well i had it where i had somewhat of desktop effects, and now once i try the med the desktop effects cannont be enabled [22:31] so I expect you can get a bunch of keys off B as well etc. [22:31] ubuntu users ! If ya want a great dc++ client !!!!! [22:31] is there a way to "move" the display to the left, right, up or down? [22:31] i believe it's from after all the updates it told me to download... [22:31] pine: we don't [22:31] it's irrelevant actually [22:31] search for linuxdcpp [22:31] ikonia: I can, in links on this box, set the proxy of it to like, 203.160.1.146:553, which is a free and anonymous proxy. [22:31] Micheru: have you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/x11vnc ? [22:31] in synaptic [22:31] anyway, here is a basic question for you [22:31] Stevethepirate: use that proxy with firefox [22:31] don't all shout at once. [22:32] pine we know about that client thanks [22:32] soundray: no why? [22:32] ikonia: It won't let me. [22:32] Stevethepirate: what won't [22:32] well so u speak for everyone, no u dont [22:32] do [22:32] Micheru: if you had, you might not have had to ask that question. [22:32] bin_d, what i meant is you installed on one hdd right? and you created a swap partition and just a root (/) partition? [22:32] Does ubuntu put a whole load of system files in /etc in a way that you can see, whereas windows hides such system files [22:32] pine: no one has asked for a client - so just spouting stuff randomly in the channel is of no help [22:32] The firewall checks to see what IP is connecting to it, this server I am on can use external proxies, I cannot. [22:32] so who can help me with that Java problem ? [22:33] GLORY: What version of Ubuntu are you running? Also, does the error give any more information? [22:33] furytho1-> what is the issue?

[22:55] j_, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [22:55] kane77: cat < file.txt [22:55] RoboCop: nevermind me then =).. that error just pops up if you forget or it ./configure fails for some reason.. missing files etc [22:55] nickrud theres not package [22:55] j_: you can do sudo apt-get install , or search (ctl-f) for it in synaptic [22:55] kane77: is that what you mean? [22:55] Slart: just headers missing [22:55] RoboCop: agreed. But, you can look for the that header file's package there [22:55] clearzen, but that only output once... [22:55] hi, I'm trying to run eagle CAD, and all the black text is rendering as see through, which would be cool if it wasn't unreadable - any ideas? I installed with a simple apt-get install eagle [22:55] kane77, tail -f ? [22:56] Hey guys, is there a need for a virus scanner in linux ? Like Clam AnttVirus just incase ? [22:56] did someone give advice howto get that Java plugin to work ? [22:56] kjoz: no [22:56] dmarsa, you're genius! that's it! [22:56] kane77: You would just have to make a conditional loop that didn't terminate using that command [22:56] !virus | kjoz [22:56] kjoz: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [22:56] kjoz: personally - I don't think so [22:56] anytime kane77 [22:57] kjoz: a virus scanner can be handy for checking mail or files on a file server.. but generally a linux desktop doesn't really need it [22:57] dmarsa, and that "scrolls" if the file changes, right? [22:57] furytho1, apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [22:57] kjoz: yes, clamav RUNS on linux but i dont think it detects linux specific viruses, just viruses in general. Mainly used for servers w/email servers and such [22:57] Hi all. I was looking for some leads on decent free control panels compatible with ubuntu lamp server. Any suggestions are appreciated. [22:57] kane77: ie use a while loop [22:57] yeah kane77 [22:57] kjoz: the antivirus stuff in linux is intended to screen stuff for microsoft users [22:57] scratchme, apt-get install ebox (as of hardy) [22:57] scratchme: join ##linux [22:57] kk thanks guys [22:57] clearzen, thanx.. dmarsa helped.. tail -f was what I was looking for... [22:57] Seveas: don't tempt people ;) [22:58] nickrud, :D [22:58] hydoskee: I'm installing eagle cad.. will at least test it to see if it's the same here [22:58] I have compiled and installed a program. Now a new version has come out. How do I remove the last version or dont I need to? === josiah is now known as JosiahW [22:58] howdoudo: thats your issue - as you've not used a package manager [22:58] howdoudo, that's why ubuntu uses packages, makes upgrading easy [22:58] nickrud Slart i think i dont have headers. same msg got for ssl.h . i install the dev package and it went away. now i just need m_splv2.h . apt-file search is not giving it [22:58] howdoudo: your dependency tracking and clean up is now down to you [22:58] howdoudo: depends on what program it is.. some apps have to be removed before the new one is installed [22:58] Slart - thanks! [22:58] Seveas: Thanks for the lead. It looks more along the lines of a full server control panel as opposed to a web hosting control panel, which is more the angle I was looking for. [22:58] How can I reinstall windows without destroying grub? [22:59] Seveas: Am I mistaken? [22:59] exsequor: you don't [22:59] howdoudo: if you didn't remove the dir you ran make in, make uninstall may work [22:59] exsequor: you dont. reinstall windows, then reinstall grub. see !grub (first link) [22:59] exsequor: you will loose grub, but it's easy to fix, see pm [22:59] exsequor: just reinstall windows and then reinstall grub [22:59] !grub > exsequor [22:59] scratchme, you're not -- maybe cpanel is what you need but it insists on having its own config handling [22:59] Thank you Slart [22:59] hydoskee: ouch.. hard to read [22:59] here is what I got from terminal [22:59] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55540/ [22:59] RoboCop: I think you need libmysql++-dev [22:59] !grub [22:59] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [22:59] general question: I installed the new version of pidgin from source. What happens if I delete or move the directory that had the source files?\ [22:59] Seveas: Right. I was hoping on leads for a decent free one. cpanel is pay last I checked. [22:59] furytho1: then you have the java plugin. Did you restart firefox? [23:00] Slart - see? any idea what's causing that? [23:00] !grub [23:00] Stoffer: nothing, I'd be more worried that I'd broke ubuntu's dependency tracking [23:00] furytho1: that's good [23:00] Stoffer: it should still work if you remove the sources [23:00] hydoskee: have you tried disabling compiz? [23:00] Anyone care to debug this xorg.conf? - http://pastebin.com/m711bc62 [23:00] Starnestommy how can you be sure it has that .h file? [23:00] Slart - no, that's depressing [23:00] k [23:00] Trying to get direct rendering working [23:00] Hi everyone. Is it possible to install the flash-player update already or FF will lose it again? [23:01] hydoskee: hehe.. indeed.. but wait.. I read something some time ago about apps in compiz having transparency problems.. there was a work around.. something you entered on the command line when running the program.. let me search for a minute [23:01] Yeah, so then website is not propably reconize my java :C [23:01] anyone know of a good mms player...not mplayer because for some reason I can't pause and resume [23:01] Quick question: Does the server edition come with Gnome? [23:01] FY1 try totem [23:01] furytho1: what does this return: apt-cache policy gcjwebplugin [23:02] guys is there a way to get alsa 1.0.16 as a package ? or i have to compile to install it ? [23:02] FY1, VLC? [23:02] furytho1: google java test , it'll take you to the sun test site [23:02] TSCDan, you can easily install gnome on it but it's not installed by default [23:02] Seveas: Maybe webmin/virtualmin is what I want. I'll take a look at that. Do you care for me to let you know what I decide, or are you content to just be left alone? ;) [23:02] scratchme, webmin should be avoided like the plague [23:02] it's a security risk [23:02] Seveas: Okay, any others then? [23:02] gcjwebplugin: [23:02] Installed: 2:0.92-4ubuntu2 [23:02] Candidate: 2:0.92-4ubuntu2 [23:02] Version table: [23:02] *** 2:0.92-4ubuntu2 0 [23:02] 500 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/universe Packages [23:02] furytho1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:03] scratchme, none that I know of. I use the command line [23:03] TSCDan, as Seveas said no gnome.. infact nothing but a terminal prompt..:) [23:03] ikonia: yes. [23:03] furytho1: do: sudo aptitude purge gcjwebplugin [23:03] ikonia: Basically I'd like them to manage their own resources. [23:03] hi [23:03] Scunizi, Seveas, Thanks.

[23:04] ikonia: I don't plan to build a web-hosting empire on it if that's what you are thinking. [23:04] scratchme: you can't change individual settings for 1 domain - apache is system wide [23:04] lordmorgoth: compile [23:04] ikonia, that's so not true :) [23:04] scratchme: only things like serveralias is configured on a per domain basis [23:04] I installed v7.10 as desktop from a cd, chose the top option to instal. How do I now get a command line or find a file manager ? [23:04] done, what now ? [23:04] Seveas: at a basic level it is [23:04] ikonia: Well, apache supports includes last I checked, so it would be possible to have sites setup separately in their own files. [23:05] furytho1: try your page again, [23:05] ikonia, not at all, apache is very, very flexible [23:05] furytho1: restart your browser [23:05] thanks Seveas [23:05] ikonia, you should see my apache vhost setup :) [23:05] !find mysql.h [23:05] hello ubuntu! I'm starting to plan a personal ubuntu box, and while i'm sure it exists, I can't find a "recommended hardware" list... can anyone help? [23:05] Seveas: I agree with that, I'm not saying it isn't but your not going to load say mod_userdir for one domain [23:05] scratchme, also server management is much different from website management... ie. you don't want to maintain a clients site content.. just the servers they are running on.. right? much easier. [23:05] File mysql.h found in liblua5.1-sql-mysql-dev, libmysqlclient15-dev, libqt4-dev, pike7.6-mysql, postfix-dev (and 1 others) [23:05] scratchme: and yes, your correct it does support includes [23:05] now it is working [23:05] thank you [23:05] ikonia, but you *can* enable it per domain [23:05] what's the latest on the Intel X3100 driveers? anybody using the chipset and is it fixed yet? [23:05] by default aptitude installed recomened packages. is there a way of striping my install down to kubuntu + a list of programs? [23:05] Seveas: not without cycling apache [23:06] Seveas: which no user should be able to do [23:06] hm? [23:06] Scunizi: Basically, I want to let users create subdomains, domains, backup their folders, link to a mysqladmin, that sort of thing. [23:06] Seveas: that change won't be picked up until apache is restarted [23:06] how do I update my /etc/ld.so.conf? is there a script to do this? [23:06] Seveas: I believe at least [23:06] ikonia, nonsense argument, all config changes need that [23:06] abrocadabro: edit it and run ldconfig [23:06] abrocadabro: sudo ldconfig [23:06] Honestly, I would not mind if someone would nuke down the MS HQ and I would definetly not judge him from anything, rather thanking of makin great service for free information technology scene :D [23:06] !ot | furytho1 [23:06] furytho1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:06] Seveas: exactly, thats why I'm saying no-user should be able to do that [23:06] ah, I see, thanks [23:07] ikonia, indeed. That doesn't change anything I said :) [23:07] scratchme, that's what I would do.. I just logged on so I missed a lot of the other stuff you guys were talking about. [23:07] Seveas: I agree %100 that apache is flexible and you can change it, but giving users the power to bounce apache isn't appealing [23:07] Xorg.conf - Direct Rendering - Widescreen - ATI - http://pastebin.com/m711bc62 [23:07] ikonia, those two things are unrelated to each other === averno is now known as txan [23:07] What is the best way to partition a drive for Windoze, once I have already had Ubuntu fully installed? [23:07] Seveas: perhaps my wording was a tad off [23:07] !ot | Seveas ikonia (I love it :) [23:07] Seveas ikonia (I love it :): #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:07] Seveas: hence the "system wide" [23:07] ikonia, and with excessive usage of .htaccess files you can avoid reloads. Not that one would want that :) [23:08] Seveas: that is beyond my ability with apache [23:08] nickrud, ack [23:08] Scunizi: I missed your suggestion. I'm basically looking to let people do some shared hosting. Nothing critical. I'm not especially worried about security risks if it's possible to restrict logins to the web control panel areas via login or something. [23:08] Seveas! [23:08] Scunizi: I'm planning to schedule regular backups, so, recovery should be fairly no-brainer. [23:08] scratchme: how about how ubuntu handles it with "site-enabled" and just give each uset their own config file to change ? [23:09] I'm looking for a recommended hardware list for ubuntu -- can anyone feed me a link to such information? [23:09] scratchme: keep the config files in each users home dir ? [23:09] ½1qas [23:09] ikonia: If I have to supply "config files" then I've already failed, and might as well just do it for them. [23:09] what's the latest on the Intel X3100 driveers? anybody using the chipset and is it fixed yet? [23:09] scratchme, no suggestion because I just logged in and missed what you were asking. Web Control panel should handle it for people. Setting up apache for multiple sites and using control panels is something I'm not familure with .. try #ubuntu-server for more specifics. :) [23:09] !repeat | sixstorm [23:09] sixstorm: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

For example, a user wants to setup drupal/wordpress, I'm hoping that stuff to be guided by the install. I don't know how much is available free, but I'm just looking. [23:11] RoboCop: do /msg ubotu find mysql.h , you can do it in privata [23:11] scratchme: thats more mysql setup than apache [23:12] nickrud when i set my compiz settings sometimes it log off automatic [23:12] hey guys, can anyone tell me how to turn flow control on? I have a suspicion it's going to stop my (almost supported) network card from crashing regularly (usually when i put in huge amounts of traffic!)

[23:21] screenname92834: apt-cache policy audacity will [23:21] Does anyone know hwo good the driver support for a dell laptop would be/.

[23:26] screenname92834: the Release file lists the files in the repo, along with their md5sum. That file is what is signed, and is downloaded and checked when you do an update [23:26] thanks for answering so quickly.... but really what i want to know is how little of a percentage can I use.

[23:27] Slart I would think so but don't know how to make it happen [23:27] for example, if I start a program, can I ascertain which if any, files in a given directory are being read by that program? [23:27] ahorriblemess, sure as long as you have a huge drive and the % [23:27] i don't [23:27] i dont think [23:27] ryanpg: I looked for something that did that a while ago.. didn't find anything.. le me know if you do [23:27] ahorriblemess, 5% for vista is enough for the op sys and pgrms. [23:27] it is? awesome [23:27] ahorriblemess, how much is 5% on your system. [23:28] i dont know [23:28] ahorriblemess: Vista takes around 6GB of space.. depending on the version [23:28] Slart, will do [23:28] what is the best way to compare speeds of PCs running ubuntu anyone? [23:28] ahorriblemess, that's the million dollar question.. how big is your drive. [23:28] ok cool that's the kind of info i was looking for Celious. I just didn't ask haha [23:28] so if anyone wanted to impersonate a repo, it couldn't impersonate the Release file, and if it was going to impersonate packages, it would, at least, have to maintain the checksum. Which I imagine is possible although tricky [23:28] 160 [23:28] russ: I'm afraid it will take longer to explain than I will manage to stay awake.. I'm off to bed before I fall asleep on the keyboard [23:28] gb [23:28] Don't run Vista it's a virus [23:28] i need help with rtl818x drivers [23:28] yeah I need to go to bed as well [23:28] how can I know if my bluetooth work ? [23:29] screenname92834: that's the idea, and the signing of individual packages is on a deep back burner I think [23:29] i'm not right now at all, i was just thinking about reinstalling for a couple of things [23:29] specifically rtl8187 chipset drivers [23:29] i'm 100% ubuntu right now [23:29] screenname92834: If your concern is safety.. it has been well thought out [23:29] So if ubuntu doesn't sign packages, then why is it complaining about authentication? [23:29] nomic: search in synaptic for "benchmark".. there are a few [23:29] right thanks slart [23:29] why is synaptics complaining about authentication? [23:29] ahorriblemess, but you'll need more than 6 gigs to install programs (read.. games etc.). With a 160 drive I would make 20 gigs Vista and the rest ubuntu. make a seperate partiiton for your /home. It will make things easier in the future. [23:29] ryanpg you can look at the file attributes - I think the OS keeps track of when they were last accessed - so you could run the program and then look at those attributes after [23:29] screenname92834, ubuntu does use gpg to authenticate packages [23:29] screenname92834: because your list is out of date. Or, you have a repo in your sources.list that isn't signed or you don't have the key for [23:30] so three partitions? One ubuntu, one vista, and one /home? [23:30] what can i do about my mp3's being unsupported i installed mp3 support for amarok [23:30] nickrud: what you say makes some sense [23:30] !mp3 | mrmagoo24m [23:30] mrmagoo24m: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [23:30] PriceChild: it isn't the actual packages that are individually signed though, iirc [23:30] ahorriblemess, root or "/" in ubuntu you could make around 10 to 15 gigs.. swap should be double your RAM amount and the rest for /home [23:30] ahorriblemess: plus swap [23:30] nickrud, nope, a list of md5sums iirc [23:30] russ, hrm... yeah that sounds doable - though I thought there was a command [23:30] aaaaaaaahh now I'm losing it [23:31] screenname92834: PriceChild just said the same thing I said earlier ;) [23:31] mrmagoo24m: those links should take care of it.. if you've already done what they suggest I can't really offer anything better [23:31] phew [23:31] don't do that to me [23:31] thanks [23:31] What's a good program for writing in LaTeX in Ubuntu? [23:31] I might not even do it, I hate windows and Vista makes me want to vomit sometimes, but I have lightscribe and I'd like to use it [23:31] NW2190, any text editor at all [23:32] screenname92834: so, run sudo apt-get get update && sudo apt-get install audacity . If it says it isn't signed, put the full output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [23:32] NW2190: lyx is nice, imho [23:32] NW2190: tex-maker which is for KDE [23:32] ahorriblemess, lightscribe should be available in linux by now.. [23:32] !latex [23:32] NW2190: but I use it under gnome [23:32] tex is a language for describing a document, commonly used especially for scientific publishing. Information and instructions for installing TeX and other related packages can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LaTeX [23:32] <[g2]> any pointers to web resource on hotplug device names on Gutsy ? [23:32] on ubuntu v6 it didnt have this issue [23:32] NW2190, i love gedit for most text stuff, plus it does hilighting [23:32] !info lyx | NW2190 [23:32] nw2190: lyx (source: lyx): Document Processor. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.1-2ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 3272 kB, installed size 8368 kB [23:32] Hi. Is there any way I can define mouse sensitivity in X? (not in gnome) [23:32] ahorriblemess, here's one referance http://www.linux.com/feature/118705 [23:32] PriceChild: Does it do LaTeX?? [23:32] NW2190: I like vim with latexsuite if you like vim [23:32] NW2190: I suggest texmaker [23:33] !info medit [23:33] medit (source: medit): A useful programming and around-programming text editor.

[23:33] Ok, I'll try those out thanks for the suggestions. [23:33] Scunizi: thanks [23:33] NW2190: its editor with syntax highlight and has some menu items that help a lot with writing.. for example table wizard etc. [23:33] Scunizi: cuz everyone says it's cool ;) [23:33] NW2190: the version of ghostscript that ubuntu supplies has a bug that messes up eps-files in latex.. or possibly just in lyx [23:33] NW2190: use texlive [23:34] hey guys, can anyone tell me how to turn flow control on? I have a suspicion it's going to stop my (almost supported) network card from crashing regularly (usually when i put in huge amounts of traffic!) [23:34] nickrud, tried once.. didn't grasp the concept [23:34] K [23:34] NW2190: it's easy to fix if you really want to.. just thought I'd give you a small warning [23:34] Scunizi: it's simply a document markup language, old but powerful. [23:34] ok, so in time there will probably be some pretty awesome lightscribe software [23:34] NW2190 I haven't LaTeXed in a long time but there is a program called Winefish LaTeX editor that seems to be very specific - has menu options for all the major LaTeX formatting commands [23:34] nickrud, thanks.. [23:34] so I can stick with being sans-Windows [23:34] Scunizi: it's beautiful.. the typesetting is way better than say office or openoffice [23:34] Scunizi: especially good for scientific books, which it was originally written for I think [23:35] How do i title my windows [23:35] ahorriblemess, yea! [23:35] *phew* [23:35] NW2190 but the best editor for every purpose under the sun is emacs [23:35] Scunizi: and it's horrible to learn..so we can be elitist bastards when someone asks what we're using ;) [23:35] Slart, but a whole new concept to get use to .. isn't it? formatting and such.. the how to's, what for's? [23:35] * nickrud thinks Slap_Sti1k has hit it on the head [23:36] Slart, :) [23:36] um, Slart did thatis [23:36] Scunizi: indeed.. it will take some learning... [23:36] ok I'm leaving, thank you for the help anyone who helped. Thanks for the link scunizi [23:36] nickrud: I always keep taller people around me.. for the shielding =) [23:37] nickrud: I think we're ok. I reinstalled audacity from synaptics and it didn't complain this time, so I think you are right in that [23:37] my Release file was out of date [23:38] so, anyone? can I change mouse sensitivity in X itself, DE-independantly? I was thinking it should be possible in xorg.conf, but no idea how. [23:38] the only thing that concerns me is that I remember it installing 4 dependencies as well but I think I'm going to assume that they are fine as well and go to bed. I mean, who hacks ubuntu? [23:38] who hacks ubuntu? are there any ubuntu viruses? [23:39] !virus [23:39] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [23:39] Gigamo: http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.0/doc/html/mouse.4.html has all the config options you can think of [23:39] nickrud: thank you [23:39] well.. I'm off to bed.. good night everyone [23:39] there was some kernel exploit i heard of last week.. [23:39] slart I have to drive home as well! [23:39] Dr_willis, security team are aware [23:40] how is possible ... the config.inc.php from phpmyadmin only be read if have full acess ?! when i install it in to public_html [23:41] Dr_willis: there's a fix in the git repo already i read [23:41] hi where do I get the picasa? using 7.10 32bit [23:41] i allready try it to put it from chown root to only root apache can read it but nathing :x [23:41] *-the [23:41] nickrud, since im the only user - :) i aint been too worried about it. [23:41] Isent picasa in the mediubuntu repos? [23:42] along with googleearth and some other apps? [23:42] Dr_willis: likewise, and I promised myself I wouldn't try it on the servers I have access to :) [23:42] Can any one help with an xdmcp client issue? [23:42] nickrud: hmm, can't seem to find it on there [23:43] Dr_willis, I installed the repos and searched and don't see it [23:43] would someone advise this EasyUbuntu [23:43] Gigamo: either/both of Resolution and SampleRate [23:43] would someone advise this EasyUbuntu???? [23:44] slliness, ya could go to the picassa web site and see if they got debs. Ive done it that way befor. [23:44] !easyubuntu [23:44] I have my xdmcp server setup and working but can't figure out how to get the client setup [23:44] easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items.

[23:44] nickrud: ohh, resolution, should that be in DPI? [23:44] mrmagoo24m, its best to learn the proper way to install things. [23:44] nickrud: like 400 [23:44] really alright [23:44] Gigamo: I think so. My memory on this is pretty rusty I last used that several years ago [23:44] lol i was wondering [23:45] easyubuntu is unnecessary [23:45] friend of mine said the reason for why linux is virus-free is that few people use it so no-one bothers to attack it. [23:45] j #mailman [23:45] nickrud: any idea how to set "xset m 0 0" system wide, i.e. in GDM, Openbox, Xfce etc.. without enabling it as startup commands in each DE/WM? [23:45] screenname92834: not totally false [23:45] screenname92834: Not even close to an informed opinion [23:45] jack-Sparrow: care to say more? [23:45] Whats cracking. I have a GeForce FX 5200/AGP/SSE2 and a DELL 2007WFP LCD monitor. It is sluggish is heck and glxinfo |grep rend shows direct rendering enabled. I do have the monitor connected with a HD-15 cable and not the DVI both card and monitor are capable of however, i would think that I could comfortably watch full screen video. [23:46] Any comments? [23:46] hi guys i am having trouple getting nvidia drivers working [23:46] You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [23:46] nickrud: guess I'll find out whether it works or not :-) [23:46] screenname92834: Let me see f I can find the article that explains it better [23:46] !virus [23:46] nickrud: thanks [23:46] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [23:46] screenname92834: it's vulnerable to social engineering attacks, but there are so few users compared to windows that linux is a waste of effort [23:46] Anyone... [23:46] that article claims that it's because you can't write to a decent binary unless you are root. That assumes the operating system is flawless. I reckon a good virus can beat the OS's protection on root's files. [23:47] whats a social engineering attack [23:47] screenname92834: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 is another good one. [23:47] Breakage: not really. I'd start by looking in /etc/X11/Xsession.d [23:47] compsman, open up a terminal and type the following: "glxinfo |grep rend" as your normal user. [23:47] decent binary ? [23:47] nickrud: thanks for the tip :) [23:47] See if direct rendering is enabled compsman [23:47] screenname92834: I suggest that if you wish to discuss it you jump over to #ubuntu-offtopic.. this is the support room [23:48] screenname92834: where they trick you into running a compromised binary [23:48] tcpdumpgod: it not evening loading driver sir [23:48] compsman, what does dmesg as root show.

With so much not working on Ubuntu only the chance of some things working on Vista and get some productivity ... :-( [23:49] YUCK stelt [23:49] screenname92834: like a .run file you download off the web and don't really know it's provenance [23:49] stelt, this is a family channel... please watch your language.

[23:49] the problem is. lcd monitors edid is wrong and its telling xorg max screen is 800x600 [23:49] which is not true [23:49] you need drivers?? i think a1fa [23:50] that was my case [23:50] i got drivers [23:50] its neomagic [23:50] alright.
